Muckety is published by Muckety LLC, a company founded in 2006 by a team with years of experience in journalism, technology and online publishing.

The name Muckety derives, of course, from muckety mucks. Some follow the money. We follow the muckety, producing a daily news and information site based on online databases (which we enlarge daily), extensive research and old-fashioned journalism.

We strive for accurate, timely, objective journalism. Although you may sometimes see ads with a political point of view (served automatically through ad services such as Google AdSense), we aim to be nonpartisan in our maps, news stories and databased information.

Our founders/editors are award-winning journalists Laurie Bennett, Gary Jacobson and John Decker.

Bennett and Decker were co-founders of ePodunk, a high-traffic web site about places in the U.S., Canada and the UK. They also worked together as members of the founding online team at the Detroit Free Press. Decker previously was multimedia editor of The New York Times on the Web.

Bennett, a winner of the George Polk Award, also worked as a reporter for the Free Press, Detroit News, Gannett News Service in Washington, D.C., and as city editor of the Rochester (NY) Times-Union.

Decker has been a staff photographer for the Bergen Record, Sacramento Bee, and for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Jacobson, a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, was founding publisher and editor of the Arlington Morning News, deputy managing editor of USA Today, and business editor of the Rochester Times-Union.
