My name is David Weir. I'm a journalist and author; there is an entry about my career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Weir_%28journalist%29.

I use Wikipedia every day, and over time, may try to contribute information about certain topics, including investigative reporting, global pesticide issues (the topic of one of my books), U.S. media companies, education (I've taught at Stanford, U-C, Berkeley and S.F. State), among other things.

Since I've worked for so many companies, I probably would not write or edit entries about them, due to the potential for a conflict of interest, but I have happy to serve as a resource about the Center for Investigative Reporting (which I co-founded), Mother Jones Magazine, The Nation, KQED, Wired Digital, Salon, etc., if other Wikipedians ask me.
