Bauder is the AP’s national media writer, covering the intersection of news, politics and entertainment. He is based in New York.
“I decided to raise my hand to volunteer and Thursday is my last day after nearly 40 years,” he wrote on Facebook. “Truthfully, the time to do something else was approaching, the offer was generous and if it clears a path for a younger colleague, so much the better.”
Bauder is a Syracuse University graduate.
