Michael Koretzky is an American journalist, editor and writer.
Koretzky attended the University of Florida in the early 1980s, where he worked at the Independent Florida Alligator, UF's student-run newspaper. After several attempts he was selected to become the editor in chief in 1987.[1]
He has worked at several publications including the Sun-Sentinel in Florida and XS.[2] While working at the Sentinel, covering the city of Boynton Beach, he started his own publication, Ice Magazine. He also was the managing editor of a jazz magazine, Jazziz.[3]
Koretzky also organized a First Amendment Free Food Festival[4] on the campus of Florida Atlantic University on Constitution Day in 2006. He received a grant from College Media Advisers and the South Florida Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists to host the event.[5]
Koretzky was the adviser for Florida Atlantic University's student-run newspaper, the University Press for almost 12 years. In May 2010 Koretzky was fired from the University Press[6][7]
He has been highly vocal in urging journalists to give a voice to supporters of Gamergate, using his role in the Society of Professional Journalists to set up events and awards on their behalf.[8]
