Work in progress

Hi there. I'm Ross Gianfortune. Pronounced as such (thanks, Google Translate!)

I am an online journalist in Washington, DC. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Gazette, The Atlantic, Sno-Cone and several defunct zines. I have a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, with a political science minor and received my Master's in communications from American University.

I speak functional Spanish and less-than-functional Italian. I have covered such events as the DC high school sports, the 2008 election of Barack Obama (and subsequent inauguration), DC Sniper trials, the government near-shutdown of 2011, Snowpocalypse and many others.

I used to run a blog with my late friend about Chicago baseball that has been dormant for a while. I also wrote a project that reviewed all 500 albums on Rolling Stone's list of the best of all time.

My current album review blog is called Albums that I Own. It isn't really about anything other my life.
