Dallas Morning News personal tech columnist Rossman departs

Jim Rossman

Jim Rossman, who has written a personal technology column for the Dallas Morning News for the past 23 years, is leaving the paper.

Rossman writes, “Back in the late 1990s, the Personal Technology section editor, the late Bob Bersano, asked me to start writing a weekly column called the Tech Adviser.

“At the time, all I did was answer questions from readers about their tech issues. The News had a great group of people producing a stand-alone Personal Technology section each week, and I was honored to be part of that group. In the early and mid-2000s, the PTech section was reduced to coverage inside the business section once a week.

“Eventually I was the last man standing, and I’ve been writing the entire Personal Technology page for years now, including product reviews and my original column.

“I’m so grateful to The Dallas Morning News business staff, including everyone who ever had to edit my copy. For the last handful of years, that’s been Laura Jacobus, who is always patient with me when I just end a sentence midthought.”
