I've listed this article for peer review because…

I am somewhat stumped on where to go with it. Faulkner was considered an important political writer for his time. News at the beginning of the 20th century was more state or local and not national. In some ways the respect for him as a writer, and his fair treatment to politicians from both parties, made him ahead of his time. One could say that Tim Russert was much like him, and the response to Faulkner's death was much like the response to Russert's death.

I would like to get the article up a couple notches on the quality scale and I need ideas on what to improve.

• The Journalism Career section reads like proseline; expand the one sentence paragraphs or combine them with other paragraphs.
• References outside punctuation, please.
• If possible, use the {{cite news}} template for the references.
• The article needs a general expansion; are there books or other sources with information on him?
