Good news -- he's back!
From John Curry, September 4, 2011
Remember the journlist who did the investigative reporting for the Canton Repository about the former STRS board and former Executive Director concerning their misspending, mismanagement and entitlement philosophy? Well....HE'S BACK! Please take the time to drop him an email (included in this article) to congratulate him with his new job as a reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer. I have a strong hunch the Freedom Of Information Act will get a real workout real soon!
Following the Sept. 1, 2011 article from the Enquire below is a tribute article to the same Dr. Paul Kostyu featured by Kathie Bracy's blog five years ago. I consider myself very fortunate that I can call this gentleman a friend. If you do contact him he will get back to you!
John
I joined the Cincinnati Enquirer today as the statehouse reporter in Columbus.
I bring to the job 35 years of experience — yes, I’m that old. I spent eight of those years reporting from Columbus for GateHouse Media and previously Copley Ohio Newspapers, which include three Ohio papers — the Canton Repository, Massillon Independent and New Philadelphia Times Reporter. I’ve also worked at papers in Michigan and North Carolina, as well as at National Geographic Magazine.
Covering state government is like working on a giant puzzle, trying to figure out how multiple pieces fit together so the picture becomes clear for readers. I enjoy working puzzles.
Feel free to contact me via email: pkostyu@enquirer.com; phone: 614-224-4640 or 513-368-2883; or follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/paulekostyu. And look for my political ramblings on this blog.

Kostyu receives national award
Canton Repository, August 12, 2006
COLUMBUS Paul E. Kostyu, Columbus Bureau chief for Copley Ohio Newspapers, won a first-place national award for in-depth reporting on environmental issues from the Association of Capitol Reporters and Editors.
He also won third-place in the single-report category for his story on the botched execution of Joseph Clark.
Kostyu won for daily newspapers of under 75,000 circulation. The award was announced at the group’s annual meeting last week.
A graduate of Heidelberg College with master’s and doctoral degrees from Bowling Green State University, Kostyu has also won a first-place investigative reporting award from the Associated Press Society of Ohio and was submitted as a Pulitzer Prize nominee for beat reporting.
The Capitol Reporters association awards recognize outstanding achievements in beat reporting, in-depth reporting, column writing, news analysis and commentary by print, radio and television journalists who cover state government.
