Douglass Taft Davidoff
Editorial Content, Public Relations, and Research in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
ABOUT ME – I'm new to Pennsylvania. I'm a New Englander, a Hoosier, a Chicagoan, a Tar Heel, and a New Yorker.
So it might be easier to just call me “Doug.”
I was born in New York City and raised in Connecticut. I moved to Pittsburgh in 2026 after my second stint living in Connecticut. I've also lived in Indianapolis, Boston, Chicago, the Research Triangle of North Carolina, and briefly in Vermont. I chose Pittsburgh to be close to my grandson!
CAPABILITIES – As a public relations and editorial consultant, I’ve worked for service and manufacturing businesses as well as for not-for-profits. I’ve written speeches, business proposals, and a small book. I've handled federal and state legislative relations, run news conferences, exhibited at trade show booths, and organized professional meetings and conferences. I have also worked for political candidates and campaigns.
As a journalist, I worked for The Westport (Conn.) News, The News & Observer of Raleigh, The Raleigh Times, and The Indianapolis News.
MORE BACKGROUND – I am a father, a grandfather, and an amateur historian. I'm Jewish. I read, sail, explore museums, and wander through historic sites. I read a lot. I thrive in cities but I’m also at home in rural New England towns. My favorite vacation places are Vermont, Cape Cod, and the Florida Keys. I miss my onetime Hoosier home from the Southern Indiana hills to the Lake Michigan dunes.
