TheLatest.Net's Mike Shiloh jokes with then-CBS News anchor Dan Rather, 2003.
TheLatest.Net editor Mike Shiloh joking with CBS News' Dan Rather, 2003.

Michael Shiloh
(pronounced "SHY-low")
comes to TheLatest.Net with 25 years' solid experience as a journalist, editor, broadcaster and print writer -- with a political and social viewpoint that can only be described as Peaceful Pragmatism, with all that implies.

He's the winner of a 2007 statewide Texas journalism award from the Houston Press Club.

He works occasionally with CNN and is a regular on Headline News' "Nancy Grace."

During the 1970s, Mike began as a standup and improv comedian, working with Brett Butler, the late Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks, among other gifted comics and comedy writers.

Beginning as a drive time radio news anchor and reporter in 1980 at KRBE in Houston, Mike later worked as a broadcast journalist with the Associated Press, UPI and most recently at the Phoenix headquarters of MetroSource, the international broadcast wire service.

Along the way, working with ABC News, CBS News radio and AP, Shiloh obtained numerous news exclusives, ranging from terrorism plots to identification of murderers. Mike also worked in rock radio and has provided voice, comedy and emcee work on hundreds of TV and radio spots, documentaries, fundraisers, telethons and films.

Shortly after it's inception in Dallas, Shiloh worked in the late 1990s to help bring the Amber Alert system to radio stations, first in Texas then nationwide.

In addition to his daily radio programs, he now works to augment the nationwide Amber Alert systems to include missing Alzheimers victims.

He first began writing for the Internet in 1997.

He now works in news/talk radio and is heard on WIND-AM in Chicago as well as KSEV, KIKK and other stations.

He's not related to that other Michael Shiloh guy who's all over the Internet with his electronic contraptions...

Rumors to the contrary, it's not true that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby was named after Mike Shiloh.

It's unknown if Jodi Compton used Mike as a reference point for the "Michael Shiloh" character in her book, "The 37th Hour."

Shiloh says he has no idea where Canadian filmmaker Heather Fraser got her idea for the short film, "Shiloh" but admires her work on a film that helps mirror the lives of people trapped within their own being. The film has been used to help a youth outreach program called Leave Out ViolencE (LOVE).
