Matthew Christian is the new Savannah River Site and politics reporter for the Aiken (South Carolina) Standard.
Born and schooled in West Virginia, Christian worked for a weekly newspaper in the Mountain State post-college before jumping out of journalism to attend law school at the University of South Carolina.
Post-law school, Christian said he couldn’t see himself practicing law and decided to return to journalism.
He joined the Morning News in Florence where he covered government and politics for four years, before being recruited to come down to Aiken.
