Daniel J. Schneider’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am a documentary photographer and web developer-journalist based in Denver. My passions in life are making good pictures and seeing stories come together, whether a single image or a long-term investigative package, in accessible and innovative presentations online.

I grew up in Beaverton, a suburb of Portland, Ore., and learned early the beauty of nature from the green and majestic Pacific Northwest. Moving to Colorado in my youth only served to deepen my love of the natural world.

The Cost of Winning: Why Beating an 881 Petition Can Hurt Your Wallet

|
By Daniel J. Schneider Verified
| New York Law Journal Verified
Getting attorney’s fees when you lose? In one area of New York law, that is the reality. The general rule of attorney’s fees in the United States is called the “American Rule.” With few exceptions, the American Rule expects those involved with litigation to pay their own lawyer’s fees win, lose or draw. This is in contrast to the English Rule, which holds that the party that wins has its fees paid by the loser.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Working as a freelance online news producer for The Denver Post. I did several other things while freelancing, but finally got on full time.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have, in fact. My first typing class used IBM Selectrics, and before that I typed short stories on my dad's old Smith-Corona "portable."

How is social media changing news?

It's rewriting many of the rules. As time goes on it becomes more than part of your reporting and simply becomes your reporting. I like this.
