Jonathan Storm has watched television since he was 5 years old. He would wake up early, turn on the TV and watch the test patterns as he waited for The Modern Farmer to begin. Five years later, he began his news career as editor-in-chief of the mimeographed newspaper in Mr. Merrill's fifth-grade class.
He spent six years as a true journalist at the Rutland Herald (Vt.) and six more at the Detroit Free Press. He joined The Inquirer in 1982, working as an editor in various departments. In 1987, he edited the newspaper's special sections on the Constitution and a companion four-month series. The package won a national award from the Benjamin Franklin Foundation as best special Constitution coverage by a newspaper.
Seeing an opportunity to watch television for a living, he grabbed it and became The Inquirer's television critic in 1990. His reviews appear in the Daily Magazine.

Here's a turnaround. The whole point of ABC's new Wipeout is to entertain viewers as they watch assorted dunderheads slip, sprawl and splat their way to oblivion in tanks of water and vats of glop.

Documentary filmmakers must have some sort of personality flaw. Here they have all the talent and technological skills to make big money in showbiz, and all they spend their lives doing is introducing us to people we would never meet elsewhere and illuminating some of the important issues of our time.
