Author/editor Abe Peck is known for his work in the field of journalism and his contributions to the counterculture press. He served as the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Seed, an underground newspaper active from 1967 to 1974 that covered countercultural topics such as the anti-war movement, civil rights, and alternative lifestyles. Peck was also a professor at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University for many years, where he taught courses on magazine editing and writing.
