Background

Marilyn Geewax is an economics and technology reporter for the Washington Bureau of Cox News where she covers Congress. On the job, she writes both breaking news and longer pieces on economic, tax and technology public policies.

Before moving to Washington in 1999, Geewax served as an editorial board member of the Atlanta Constitution for ten years where she wrote daily opinions on the economy and taxation and a weekly column for the business news section. As a business reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, she covered the stock market and the airline industry from 1985 to 1989. Prior to her time at the Constitution, Geewax spent seven years with the Akron Beacon Journal, starting as a suburban reporter and migrating to business where she covered basic industries such as steel and tires. Fresh out of college in 1978, she was a general assignment reporter for the Poughkeepsie Journal.

A regular panelist on several Atlanta TV news programs, Geewax has also made numerous appearances on CNN and MSNBC as well as many interviews on news radio shows in the Atlanta market. She appeared frequently on "Silicon Valley Business News," a weekly news program that aired for several years on Cox-owned TV stations in San Francisco and San Jose.
