Doug Thompson's  career as a photographer and journalist began with a story he sold at the age of ten to a local newspaper. As a teenager he wrote and took photographs for The Floyd Press, and then went on to work for The Roanoke Times. In 1994, following a career in Washington politics, he founded Capitol Hill Blue, the web's first political news site. More recently, he has returned to The Floyd Press, covering local news. He maintains a blog at blueridgemuse.com.
