Glossy News is unique in the satire world because every article we publish goes through multiple levels of editorial review. We’re like a lab of mad scientists dedicated to engineering the perfect satire. Our system allows us to workshop stories and discuss every aspect from the theme to the accompanying photo with such efficiency that we can still be first to press in many cases.

Take a minute to meet the editors:

Brian K. White – Mr. White launched Glossy News in 2002 with the simple desire of having an outlet for his own mad, satirical ramblings. Within months it had grown into an online satire powerhouse, and since has grown to include more than 70 writers and over a dozen editors. Mr. White has published more than 5,000 articles since 2001 ranging from travel to technology to auto reviews, with plenty of humor in between to spackle the cracks. In White’s other works, he has authored some of the most widely-read hoaxes in recent years, which has earned him the role of editor and publicity director for Hoax.com. Brian White currently manages The Publicity Firm, a web design, hosting and promotion company, while developing a revolutionary movie patent. He still dedicates time to advance his first love of satire with editorial oversight and contribution to Glossy News.

Mike Allison – Mr Allison is an underground freelance editor, typesetter and sometimes publisher. He originated Burning Eagle Books in the mid 1990s, which has since been the subject of a hostile takeover. He has wandered through the internet since 1992, while it was still overseen by the National Science Foundation and commercial sites were not allowed. He wrote briefly, in the mid 90s, for the internet magazine (the original) Payne News, which is now a shadow of it’s former self, having been the subject of of its own hostile takeover. Mr Allison is a former globetrotter (not a basketball showman, just a vagabond) and has made his way through the Middle East, North Africa, Mexico, Europe and walked through the streets of Detroit alone in the near dusk. In the analog world, Mike often enjoys his other passion – motorcycles – which, even more often, results in swearing and throwing tools. His next adventure is the Disciples of Speed website. But even he doesn’t know where that will go.

Phil Magitti – Phil Maggitti is a freelance writer and editor living happily ever after in a world of virtual reality with his wife, two pug dogs, a Boston terrier, four cats, and a constant supply of gummy worms. Mr. Maggitti has published eight books and more than 1,000-odd pieces, some odder than others, during the last twenty-eight years. His favorite color is faded; his favorite number has been disconnected; and his favorite television show has been cancelled.

Patti Beckert – Ms. Beckert comes from a background in law where years and years in the legal field as a paralegal has seasoned her to become quite the eagle eye when it comes to spotting errors on the printed page. Now that she has her sights set on retirement, she realizes that it will take years to undo the anal qualities she developed over that time period. Although she’s dabbled in writing all her life, it’s not until recently that she started finding her voice in humor and satire. Lucky to have been brought into the Glossy fold, she now feels fortunate to be part of what she believes to be one of the best satire sites on the Web. Her main aspiration is to learn and grow as a humorist/satirist and hopefully someday be recognized for her achievements in writing. Ms. Beckert currently resides in the US with her Brazilian husband and 3 cats, after having recently spent two glorious years by the ocean in Southern Brazil. With retirement staring her in the face like an ugly buzzard, she and her husband hope to return to Brazil because let’s face it, when you can write anywhere in the world from a laptop, why not do it on a sunny Brazilian beach?
