Glover began his Washington career as a reporter at Congressional Quarterly, including as the senior House reporter at the daily CQ Monitor. He eventually became the news editor of BillWatch, a legislative tracking service. As journalism moved online, Glover took a job as the associate editor of a weekly opinion magazine called IntellectualCapital.com. He recruited political commentators from across the country and expert writers for various topics. He also wrote a monthly column on congressional history.
Glover also served as both the editor and managing editor National Journal’s Technology Daily. Under his leadership, Tech Daily added a blog, online video and podcasts to its editorial mix, and experimented with Facebook and Twitter as platforms to promote content. Glover also created Beltway Blogroll for NationalJournal.com to report on the impact of blogs in politics and policy. The Washington Post dubbed Beltway Blogroll one of "the essential Washington political blogs.” Glover's insights into the blogosphere earned him an assignment for The New York Times, an appearance on CNN, and numerous speaking opportunities and panel appearances in Washington.
After leaving National Journal, Glover launched a video-sharing website, led an innovative platform for curating policy and political tweets, and co-authored guides to Twitter and Pinterest. During this phase of his career, Glover also earned a John Jay-HF Guggenheim fellowship at the John Jay College of Law's Center on Media, Crime and Justice in New York. He produced the blog Justice 2.0: Social Order in the Courts, which examined the impact of social media in courts and law enforcement. As the editorial and research director of a boutique digital marketing firm, Glover oversaw the development of strategic communications plans for trade associations and major corporations in the technology, defense and health sectors. He also managed the website launch for a Fortune 500 defense and aerospace firm.
Glover first worked in journalism as an obituary writer and copy clerk at The Tampa Tribune. While in journalism school at West Virginia University, he was a reporter at the Dominion Post in Morgantown, and intern at the Charleston Daily Mail, a sports photographer for the Blue-Gold News, and a legislative intern at the state capital.
