Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Jim VandeHei is from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and his route into journalism was uneven. His publisher’s biography describes a period when a guidance counselor told him he was not cut out for college, followed by time at a two-year school and a shaky start at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh. The decisive change came when he found two enduring interests, politics and journalism. At Oshkosh, he completed a bachelor’s degree, with university materials describing his studies as a double major in journalism and political science.
