Before turning to journalism, Utne Reader senior editor Jeff Severns Guntzel spent years doing humanitarian work in pre-war Iraq. Since that time, he’s reported from the Middle East and points all over the United States as a staff writer for National Catholic Reporter and as a contributing editor at the now defunct (and greatly missed) Punk Planet magazine, which was nominated on three occasions for an Utne Independent Press Award. Most recently, he covered the political and cultural landscape of his native Minneapolis as a staff writer for Village Voice Media and a contributor to innovative local news startups Minnpost and Minnesota Independent. Electronic Iraq, a website he co-founded in 2003 to document the Iraqi experience of war, is archived in the Library of Congress and the British Library. Jeff’s appeared as a guest on a number of national news programs, including NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and Democracy Now!
