Tom Henderson

Tom Henderson is a veteran American journalist and author whose career spans copyboy work in major metropolitan newsrooms, investigative reporting, magazine writing, and nationally published true-crime books. He learned journalism from the ground up—running copy, sharpening pencils, editing wire stories, and eventually reporting on crime, courts, business, and public corruption.

Over decades, Henderson witnessed the golden age of newspapers and their steady dismantling. His work reflects a belief in reporting as public service, even when institutions fail to uphold that ideal. A Boomer's Tale is his most personal work, combining lived experience with a reporter's discipline.
