Professional life

Mowday began working as sportswriter for the Coatesville Record while still in high school. He continued his journalism career at The Daily Local News in West Chester, Pennsylvania, working as a courthouse reporter and rising to become managing editor. While at the Daily Local he covered the trials that form the basis of his book Jailing the Johnston Gang; the book was later cited by the Johnston brothers in an unsuccessful appeal for a new trial.
