The folks behind the stories

Editorial
Andre Natta headshot André Natta, Publisher/Managing Editor
The stationmaster hails from The Bronx (NYC). He ended up in the Magic City after an 11-year stopover in Savannah, GA. He spent most of his professional career prior to The Terminal in urban revitalization and hospitality, two career tracks that have actually come in quite handy while running Birmingham’s hub for conversation. He still finds time (though not as often as he’d like) to write about life as a transplant in Birmingham and life as a professional blogger over on Dre’s Ramblings.
Christina Tutor headshot Christina Tutor, Associate Editor
Christina is the primary master behind our online calendar. She also writes our popular Got plans this weekend? column on Fridays. We’ll eventually have more about our second in command, once her son Will gives her some time to get something over to us.
Bob Farley headshot Bob Farley, Chief Photographer
We like Bob. He’s a freelance photographer who specializes in corporate and editorial photography. Farley worked for the Birmingham Post-Herald for 18 years as a photojournalist and editor. He started f8Photo after the paper closed in September 2005, where he works with a variety of local business and publications, including ours.
Contributors
Charles Buchanan headshot Charles Buchanan
Charles is a magazine editor with UAB Publications and Periodicals - and an artist known for his block prints of Birmingham and Alabama icons (including that logo that we use in our header). In addition to helping out over on Timetable, he runs his own blog, Pop Goes the City, focusing on art and Birmingham.
Vickii Howell headshot Vickii Howell
Vickii stays busy enough serving as the editor-in-chief and executive producer of Birmingham View. We’re happy that the former Birmingham News reporter can provide us with some assistance covering local news stories from time to time. She is a past vice-president of print in the Birmingham Association of Black Journalists. In that role, she helped plan and organize community and professional events and has a network of media contacts locally and throughout the country.
John Morse headshot John Morse
John serves as our local historian, and he’s one of the best. Our daily “A Look Back” series is a result of the work done by him and countless others busy documenting the Birmingham District through the Magic City Flickr Group and BhamWiki. His only previous journalistic experience was as an editorial cartoonist for his college newspaper.
Travis Bryant Travis Bryant - contributor
Travis spearheads our online sales and marketing plans. His plans for The Terminal are fueled by large amounts of coffee and sugar wafers. He joined The Terminal has a contributor many moons ago, but now spends his time building uniquely simple and creative ways to connect businesses with their core customers, right here through Birmingham’s Hub
Whitney Sides
Whitney, although young, has lived in the Birmingham metro area all of her life. She’s currently a college student, who also works at CBS 42 / WIAT-TV. You can find her on Twitter, screening movies for the Sidewalk Film Festival or playing mandolin. Whitney has an encyclopedic knowledge of classic country music, current rap & hip-hop, as well as pouring hate juice on everything good going on in the world. So, naturally she writes for a few gossip blogs and local news sites. Hopefully, she’ll leave the Haters’ Ball long enough to introduce some awesome new music and entertaining reviews of all things Birmingham.
Andrea Walker
Having worked in news for a few good years, Andrea Walker is now making the leap to web media. When she’s not writing for local publications, The Terminal and MyScoop Media, she also serves on the Alabama Ballet Junior Board and is president of the Pullman Flats Homeowners Association. You can also catch her volunteering her time to different organizations around Birmingham.
