Whitten Maher wrote for James Madison University's student newspaper, The Breeze, from 2007-2010, serving as the paper's Opinion Editor from 2008 - 2009 and Design Editor from 2009-2010.

"Whitten Maher was a student, writer, and artist
with a prescient understanding of the power of communication."

The first ten articles below, culled from Maher's regular "Gadfly" opinion column, demonstrate his commitment to good writing and effective design as they reflect his work to educate and engage audiences, promote empathy rather than derision, and encourage populations who feel unrecognized or misunderstood.

At the bottom of the page, click on the "At the Breeze: Changes" image for a page introducing Maher's work as editor and designer. The 2008 - 2009 Breeze image links to a page featuring four of Maher's efforts as the Breeze Design Editor. Finally, "The Power of Choice" is Maher's first ever Breeze article.
