Joe McQuaid has been associated with New Hampshire's largest and only statewide newspaper, The Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News since he was 15. He started as a news office boy under his father, a co-founder of the New Hampshire Sunday News and former editor in chief of the Union Leader. Later he moved to sports reporting, became an award winning editor and in June of 1999, took over the helm as Managing Editor, Editor-in-Chief and General Manager of the paper. McQuaid's positions at the Union Leader has made him influential in the media, in New Hampshire politics and as a national influence in New Hampshire's "First in the Nation Primary". We continue our 25 in 25 series with Joe McQuaid and talk with him about the Union Leader, the primary and how New Hampshire politics, media and thought has changed in the past quarter century.
