Janet Rae-Dupree has two decades of experience writing and editing for newspapers, magazines and on-line publications. While she currently specializes in consumer electronics and emerging technologies, Rae-Dupree has a strong background in a number of other areas, including:
- Business writing. Rae-Dupree was a University of Nevada Business Journalism Fellow in 1997, winning the Best Financial Analysis award at the program's conclusion. She has covered mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, venture capital, executive profiles, industry trends, earnings reports and bankruptcy filings.
- Science writing. Rae-Dupree served as science writer at the San Jose Mercury News for seven months, participating in the section's conversion from Science & Medicine to Science & Technology. She pioneered the production of science-of-technology pieces for the new section and continued to write Science section cover stories after joining the Business section staff. She wrote a number of how-it-works pieces and created Mercury Center's first Science section home page, doing the weekly HTML coding required to maintain the page.
- Breaking news. Rae-Dupree was part of the Los Angeles Times team that won the breaking-news Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots. She has covered earthquakes, fires, floods, airplane crashes, oil refinery explosions and a host of other crises for local and national publications.
- General-assignment features. During her career, Rae-Dupree has written about everything from airborne observatories and water desalination to least terns and talking gorillas. In classic general-assignment reporter fashion, she has broken stories in a host of areas, including politics, senior housing, semiconductors, serial killers, mock court competitions, bomb squads, public transit, college admissions and coastal access.
- Criminal and civil courts. Rae-Dupree initiated coverage of Los Angeles County's then-new San Fernando courthouse, covering everything from civil filings and arraignments to criminal trials and death penalty rulings. While at the Los Angeles Times, she fought for -- and won -- the right to cover felony juvenile court proceedings, providing fresh insight into a previously closed-door process.
