Mark Lieberman: Assistant Editor Mark Lieberman has been obsessed with pop culture and journalism since he picked up a copy of The Washington Post’s Entertainment section while home sick with the flu in elementary school. Since then, he’s become what he likes to call a “Movie and TV Criticism Nerd.” In his few minutes of spare time, he enjoys monuments, museums and other things that don’t start with the letter M. He’s very excited to work for The Eagle this year because, all jokes aside, he loves writing more than anything else in the world. Even food, and that’s saying something. mlieberman@theeagleonline.com
