Bono Becomes a Journalist

U2 singer Bono is expected to write some articles for the New York Times.

According to a report by Rolling Stone, Bono will be quite busy in 2009, now that he has agreed to write a few articles for the New York Times.

The news was confirmed by newspaper editor Andrew Rosenthal when he spoke to Columbia University journalism students.

Rosenthal told them that the star would demonstrate versatility in writing on various subjects of music from Frank Sinatra to poverty in Africa.

The Irish singer will write for the paper for free, since he decided he doesn’t need the supplementary salary.

This isn’t the first time that Bono enters the realm of journalism. In 2007, he acted as a co-editor for Vanity Fair and has also done work for The Independent in 2006.
