Randy Cox is the senior editor/visuals at The Oregonian in Portland. Cox received his BJ from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1975. After his first job as a staff photographer at The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, MS he moved on to The Coffeyville (KS) Journal as photo editor for a total newsroom staff of seven. After three years in Coffeyville he moved to The Morning Call in Allentown, PA. In 1984, Cox moved on to The Hartford Courant where he served as assistant managing editor/photo & graphics for nine years. Cox also served as the professional-in-residence at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada/Reno and worked as a part-time designer at The Albuquerque Tribune. Cox has won a few SND and NPPA awards in his 25-year newspaper career and has been a faculty member for the Stan Kalish Picture Editing Workshop, the Electronic Photojournalism Workshop, and the Mountain Photo Workshop many times. He served as editor of the annual "Best of Photojournalism" book for five years. Best of all, though, he is married to Joany Carlin, the editor of The Oregonian's Homes & Gardens magazine. They met at Missouri back in the mid-70s and have traveled all over the country trying to get jobs at the same paper. That happened in Oregon thankfully. And, frankly, she's much better at all of these things than Cox is anyway.
