I’m pleased to announce that the Show-Me Institute has a new editor. Eric Dixon joins us from Idaho, where he worked at the Idaho Press-Tribune, as well as doing freelance work for the Cascade Policy Institute, Oregon’s free-market think tank. He’s got a degree in journalism from Brigham Young University, and he’s got nearly a decade of experience with a variety of public policy organizations, including the Cato Institute, US Term Limits, and Liberty magazine.

As the Show-Me Institute’s editor, Eric will be in charge of maintaining the high quality of all of the Show-Me Institute’s publications, including our website and blog, our Policy Studies, and Show-Me Quarterly. He’ll also be writing op-eds and contributing to the weblog.

Where am I going? I’ll be doing technology policy research from home in Saint Louis as an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. I’ll also be helping out part time at the Show-Me Institute for the next few months to make sure the transition to the new editor goes smoothly. I’m also working on a study on eminent domain abuse in Missouri, which I hope to finish in the not-too-distant future.
