Boroson's career at the Daily Record of Morris County, N.J., ended rather abruptly in 2007. A new editor killed his nationally syndicated financial column, claiming that it was not local enough. (Boroson has maintained that the new editor had told him that readers identify him with the newspaper...and "I knew then that my goose was cooked.") After his column was killed, Boroson resigned.
He has had articles published in the New York Times Magazine, Woman's Day, TV Guide, Better Homes and Gardens, Reader's Digest, Consumer Reports, Family Circle, and Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Boroson teaches at the County College of Morris in Randolph, New Jersey. He has also taught at The New School, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Ramapo College, and Rutgers University.
