Bill Khan: Livingston County's people made this special place to work
Sports reporter Bill Khan bids farewell after nearly 10 years at the Livingston Daily and 45 years at daily newspapers.
Bill Khan, a former sports writer at The Flint Journal, recounts his journey with Livingston County's Livingston Daily newspaper. Despite initially wanting to avoid the position, he found himself drawn to the county and the newspaper. After struggling with declining readership and advertising, Khan left The Flint Journal at 30 and began working part-time at Livingston Daily, eventually becoming a full-time sports writer after the paper hired him in 2016.
Khan highlights the strong support from the Livingston County community, particularly in cross country and hockey, which fueled his passion for the sport. He expresses deep gratitude for the friendships he formed with photographers Tim Arrick and Dan Zeppa, who greatly contributed to the sports coverage. Khan also mentions the impact of his journalism instructors, Cy Leder and Dave Poniers, on his career.
As he prepares to retire in east Tennessee, Khan emphasizes the importance of supporting the Livingston Daily, which serves as the sole source of media coverage for local sports in the county.
