Kania began his photojournalism career in the early 1960s. His junior-high school gym teacher solicited students to write sports stories for the Beverly (Massachusetts) Evening Times. Since Alan created a school newspaper as a fourth grader at the Brown School, he became the cub sports-reporter and the last printers devil for the community newspaper. He negotiated the $3-a-story commitment as a way of getting out of gym class.
He continued writing for small-town newspapers in Massachusetts and Colorado, and expanded his love of writing to magazines, and seven previous books.
Alan wrapped up his 50-year career in print journalism by being an adjunct journalism professor in Denver, a founding board member of the American chapter of the London-based International Communications Forum, and Co-Director of the Southern African Media Alliance.
He serves as the third historian for the Denver Press Club.view less
