Arthur Delaney
who graduated from Georgetown as an English major cum laude in
December 2005, now works full-time as a journalist. He is a
contributing writer with a weekly column for The Hill, (one of
two newspapers serving Congress), has been a freelancer at Washington
CityPaper for nearly two years, and after a staff job at "Nightline"
which he had to quit when he acquired the column (choosing print
journalism over TV "news"), remains at ABC News as a part-time
Production Assistant. He also occasionally writes articles for the ABC
website. Arthur transferred to Georgetown in his junior year, having
taken many of his English courses at Rutgers but was able while here to
take two journalism courses, from Joel Achenbach and Jody Jaffe (whom he
thought was very encouraging), and had courses with professors Rubin,
McNamer, Glavin and others. His mother Janice Delaney is a member of
the Department’s teaching staff.
