Carlo Wolff is a prolific freelance journalist who writes for publications including The Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) and The Christian Science Monitor. He specializes in music criticism, book reviews and feature articles about popular culture, travel, and business. He also specializes in reviewing graphic novels for the Globe. Included among his former outlets: Goldmine and Billboard.
From February 1990 to August 2008, Wolff worked for Lodging Hospitality, a Penton Media trade publication targeting the hotel industry. During his last eight years with LH, he was Features Editor. He now freelances to that publication and other trade periodicals. Wolff also maintains a blog.
Wolff has been involved in three books, including The Encyclopedia of Record Producers, a 1999 Billboard publication instigated by Eric Olsen, founder of www.blogcritics.com, a critical portal to which Wolff occasionally contributes. Wolff's most recent book, Cleveland Rock and Roll Memories, was published in November 2006 by Gray and Company, Publishers.
In 2003, Wolff made critical waves with his take on Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." Commissioned by the Detroit Free Press, where Albom is a star columnist, it was suppressed by that newspaper and subsequently published in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel and numerous other mainstream and alternative newspapers. Wolff's Albom review is reprinted in "Killed," a compilation of censored journalism, put together by David Wallis, the man behind Featurewell, a journalism portal to which Wolff also occasionally contributes. The review also is archived at PoynterOnline, an interpretive journalism portal.
