Career

After graduating from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in 1975, Reddicliffe worked for several newspapers as a reporter, editor and television critic, including the "Dallas Times Herald", the "Miami Herald" and the "Baltimore News-American".

From 1989 to 1992, Reddicliffe was a founding senior editor then a general editor at "Entertainment Weekly" magazine, then moved with his family to San Francisco to become editor-in-chief of "Parenting" magazine.

In August 1995, Reddicliffe became editor-in-chief of "TV Guide" [ [http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/alumni/honors/profiles/reddicliffe.html Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism alumni profile of Steven V. Reddicliffe] ] . He stepped down from the post in 2002 ["TV Guide Editor Exits." "MediaPost Publications", 5 November 2002.] .

The cable news program Fox and Friends ran a story in which Reddicliffe and reporter Jacques Steinberg were referred to as "attack dogs" in reaction to articles the two had worked on for the New York Times that were critical of Fox News. The Fox story featured altered photographs of Reddicliffe and Steinberg, in which their facial features were changed to make them appear to have yellow teeth and other "ugly" facial features, but the shows hosts gave no indication to their audience that the photos had been altered.
