Welcome to LibelousPen.com, a blog featuring the works of Casey Toner, a professional news writer living in Chicago.
Contrary to the domain name, I do not libel and I have never been sued for libel. The name just caught my ear after I picked it as my XBox360 gamertag, and I thought it sounded like the name of a sinister Harry Potter villain.
I work for the SouthtownStar in Tinley Park., Ill. As a beat reporter, I cover the towns of Matteson, Richton Park, and Park Forest. I go where my work takes me. One day I might be knocking on doors, searching for some clues to a murder, and the next I’ll be standing a few feet away from the mayor as he dedicates a bridge. Whether it be news reporting or photojournalism, this website is meant to showcase my (many) abilities.
The easiest way to get in contact with me is by email. I can be reached at ctoner@southtownstar.com.
