Chapter Meeting May 2004

Topic: "How to Publish in the Media" with Dan Miller

Dan Miller is the business editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, where he is responsible for the daily and weekend business sections of the 480,000-circulation daily newspaper. He began his career in Chicago with the Chicago Daily News, where he worked as a business reporter, editorial writer and assistant financial editor until the paper's demise in 1978.

Joining Crain Communications, he launched Crain's Chicago Business, and served as editor for 10 years as the weekly newspaper earned local and national honors for general excellence in business reporting, commentary and design. He was named vice president of Crain Communications in 1988, and publisher of Crain's City & State newspaper, a national business newspaper for state and local government.

In 1994, Gov. Jim Edgar named him chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, the state regulatory agency for utilities. During his four-year tenure, Miller downsized the commission staff, and led efforts to deregulate the state's telecommunications, electricity and motor-carrier industries. Following public service, he spent a year at the Heartland Institute, a libertarian-oriented think tank based in Chicago, as senior vice president and publisher.

In July 1999 he was named business editor of the Chicago Sun-Times.
