Will moredock biography

Former City Paper columnist Will Moredock passed away yesterday, Fri. Sept. 6. He was a City Paper columnist for a decade, writing over 500 columns for the city’s only alt-weekly newspaper.

Moredock, a native of South Carolina, had a extensive career in journalism, including a stint as a staff writer at The State and a position as news editor at Creative Loafing in Charlotte. He was founder, publisher, and editor of Point newsweekly in Columbia.

His City Paper columns covered South Carolina politics and culture — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Back in 2012 Moredock sat down with writer Susan Cohen to discuss his 10 years as a columnist and how much the gig took over his life:
