Best Journalist

John Kelso

Forget your fancy journalism degrees and chasing down stories. Professional contrarian Kelso works his cranky corner to pick up stories and has established his role as fixture on bar stools and in eateries of South Austin to formulate his triweekly column. As the man himself told his readers, "I've decided to stay on forever and keep making your life miserable."
