Histórico
Thomas W. Austin was born in Bethesda, Maryland on December 7, 1955, and he graduated in 1978 from University of Miami with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism/Communications. He began his journalism career mainly writing for the Miami Herald and the Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach Review newspapers from 1987 to 1991. From 1991 to 1996, he served as a regular columnist for the New Times, mainly authoring its Swelter column before he went on to write for Ocean Drive Magazine from 1996 to 2015. He also frequently contributed freelance articles for several popular nationwide magazines, such as US Magazine, USA Today, People Magazine, W, Interview magazine, Spanish Vogue, Travel & Leisure, Art & Antiquities, and the New York Times.
His articles mainly highlighted the Miami experience from an insider's perspective as he often wrote about the city's prolific nightlife and celebrity culture; its many civic scandals, local breaking news stories, and thriving businesses; and profiles on esteemed Miamians, such as Edie Beale of Grey Gardens. He continued to document the city's social scene right up until his death in 2022.
