Kathlyn Stone, Writer

Kathlyn Stone (stonekat@comcast.net) is a St. Paul-based independent journalist who has covered general news and business, international trade, and health care news and policies for public and professional audiences since 1980.

She brings an insider’s understanding to her coverage of government and politics, late-breaking science, consumer health news, and public policy. In addition to newspaper and magazine reporting, and before making the commitment to free lance forevermore, she worked in media relations and communications for the American Academy of Neurology, and state agencies including the Minnesota Trade Office-Department of Trade & Economic Development, Vermilion Community College, Energy Information Office and spent two tiring (but extremely insightful!) sessions as a writer with the Minnesota Senate’s public information office. She’s been a consultant to the Nonviolent Peace Force, Mayo Clinic, Citizens for Election Integrity-Minnesota, Festival of Nations, U of M Center for Spirituality & Healing, and several business start-ups. Through these experiences Stone has developed a healthy scepticism of politicians, public relations practitioners, and media organizations that put profit before truth. She considers experts—often unsung heroes among government or corporate staff, scientific researchers and passionate activists—who speak truthfully and knowingly about an issue to be top sources.

Along with medical trade press, Stone’s writing can be found in alternative media including CounterPunch, the BlackCommentator, ElectronicIraq, TruthOut, and OhMyNews, among others. She is a volunteer editor at OpEdNews. Stone maintains a portfolio of science and health writing at kathystone.squarespace.com and is the publisher and editor of Flesh and Stone.
