I’m Elliott Robinson, news director at public media station VPM. I previously served as news editor at Charlottesville Tomorrow.

My journalism career began with The Captain’s Log, the student newspaper at Christopher Newport University. From there, I spent six years in the Tri-Cities area south of Richmond. After that, I spent six years in Charlottesville and Richmond with what is now Lee Enterprises (BH Media in my day).

I’m a member of the boards of the Virginia Coalition for Open Government and the Metropolitan Community Church of Richmond. I’m also a bass in the Spirits of Joy, MCC Richmond’s choir.

I previously served as vice president of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Virginia Pro Chapter, as well as in varying roles on the Executive Council of Tau Delta Phi Fraternity Inc.

As for EXIT 265C, it’s the exit from Interstate 64 to my childhood home in Hampton, Virginia, off Rip Rap Road.
