Stephen Golden
Advisory Board Vice Chair
Stephen is a retired lawyer and a former reporter and media executive. He grew up in newspapering — he was a copy boy running errands in newsrooms at 13, a junior reporter at 17, and a full-time working journalist at 20. He’s also been a TV and radio reporter and producer. Stephen joined The New York Times as a reporter in 1966, leaving the next year for a series of posts in radio and television. He rejoined The Times in 1976, serving as a manager in several departments. Stephen spent nearly 30 years as a business executive at The New York Times before moving to Tucson in 1999 to pursue a law degree and a master’s degree in American Indian studies at the University of Arizona, intending to move elsewhere after graduation. But he and his wife came to know and love Tucson and stayed. He practiced law for several years and is now retired, spending time with charitable, philanthropic, and political activities.
