During his leadership of Thomson Newspaper’s Flywheel Media, the division grew from a single title serving 23 company newspapers to a syndicate offering 13 titles used by more than 850 newspapers – reaching more than 20 million households monthly. In 1995, Flywheel purchased FreeZone.com and built the fledgling children’s Web site into a leader in Internet privacy, children’s safety and cutting-edge sponsored content. Before joining Thomson, Paul worked at The Tribune Co., CapCities/ABC and Fairchild Publications, in addition to his own enterprises. As features editor at the Chicago Tribune, Paul spearheaded the redesign of the features section and directed the creation of new products, including Style, the weekly fashion section, and Your Place, the weekly rental tabloid. Paul has written three books, contributed to Esquire, Black Business, Marketing Communications and Philadelphia Magazine, among others. His articles have appeared in newspapers across the continent. He is a widely sought-after speaker at newspaper and Internet industry events. Paul was born and raised in Alton, Ill.

Her articles have appeared in Fortune, The New York Times, Parents and MSN’s UnderWire. Mary earned a B.A. in English from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass.

A Vietnam veteran who served in the Navy, Dan has a B.A. from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

Paul A. Camp is an entrepreneur at heart and has spent his entire career dedicating his skills and enthusiasm to the effective use of local media to build strong special-interest communities. He has owned three different start-up businesses, masterminded a successful repositioning of a business magazine and launched half a dozen different newspapers, magazines and newspaper sections.
Mary
Connors contributes editorial-management skills honed at a wide range of magazines, newspapers and online-publishing ventures. She has worked in top positions at media operations including Cap Cities/ABC, Fairchild Publications and Institutional Investor. She also has led entrepreneurial editorial efforts, including the launch of a magazine for a minor-league baseball team.
Jenn
Champion Goebel manages financial planning, human resources and account management for CTW from her office in Franklin, Mass. Jenn was the first sales and marketing manager for Flywheel Media, the former Thomson Newspaper division. During her nearly seven years with Flywheel she served as sales manager, marketing director, product manager and director of organizational development. Her accomplishments included developing the company’s first marketing campaign and client marketing-support program. Jenn’s leadership role in the launch of Curiocity for Kids and Brainstorm (now part of the FreeZone Network) led to her inclusion as one of the Newspaper Association of America’s “20 under 40” in the newspaper industry.
Dan
Dalton launched his career in the newspaper business in suburban Chicago, where he grew up delivering the Tribune, Sun-Times, American and Daily News. His biggest motivation continues to be a genuine desire to see newspapers succeed and grow.
Matthew
M.F. Miller joined CTW in 2004 with five years of editorial management and
writing experience to his credit. His love affair with words, however,
began some fifteen years ago with a dream, a non-correctable typewriter
and an adolescent love of Diane Sawyer. 
Marla Morgan joined Content That Works from CityXpress, where she ran sales training programs for newspapers across the county. She gained her familiarity with newspaper sales directly out of college as a commission-only sales employee for the Bangor Daily News. The hard work and perseverance she learned at that job helped her later as a account manager for LucasArts Entertainment, where she helped manage the finances for “Driving Miss Daisy,” “The Godfather: Part III,” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” and served as a production manager. Marla’s goal is to match the right CTW product with each client.
Mary Margaret Murphey saw a job listing posted by Content That Works when she was a graduate student, but the position was filled by the time she graduated. After earning her master’s degree from Medill School of Journalism in Evanston, Ill., she worked at M2Media360 as managing editor. She joined CTW as HomeStyle editor in 2007. Mary likes CTW for its newspaper pace and for the opportunity to work on longer, magazine-style features.
Aja Robinson came to Content That Works from The Enterprising Kitchen in Chicago, where she worked as a customer-service representative. Aja manages CTW’s files and mailings and hopes one day to help Orion with the office’s technology needs. During the past two years she has earned Microsoft Office Specialist and Medical Billing and Code diplomas from the Computer Systems Institute in Chicago.
Timothy R. Schulte joined Content That Works in early 2006. Prior to CTW, Tim interned with the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund on the copy desk at the Houston Chronicle. Tim earned his bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., where he held a variety of positions on the award-winning campus newspaper, The Creightonian.
