The Praetorian Press
Portrait coming soon

Rusty Calloway

Reporter and editor, The Praetorian Press

I started The Praetorian Press to get good at journalism the only way that works: by doing it every day where people can see it.

Each day I pick one story from the national news and report it straight. What happened, who it lands on, and what to watch for next. I write for people my age who care what’s going on but don’t have an hour for cable news.

How I work

  • Every factual claim is sourced, and the sources are listed under each piece.
  • If I get something wrong, the correction goes at the bottom of the piece with the date. Nothing gets quietly deleted.
  • When I’m giving an opinion, the piece is filed in the Opinion room so you always know which is which.
