I’ve worked in television news for the majority of my career. In the last five years, I’ve moved from traditional journalist to non-traditional thinker about journalism and education. This is a place where I hope to share my thoughts, ideas and hopes. I’m currently the New Media Director at KOMU-TV and komu.com. At the same time, I’m an associate professor at the Missouri School of Journalism and a part of the innaugural class of Reynolds Journalism Institute fellows. It’s an amazing and exhausting combination. I have a chance to help build future journalists and I have a chance to play with new and useful technology. In the middle of it all, I’m looking at ways newsrooms and classrooms communicate with students, viewers and employees. I have a Master’s in Management and I’m pretty obsessed with workflow and newsroom communication. I’m quickly seeing how those workflows and communication skills are INCREDIBLY useful in a classroom setting. My comments, rants, raves and ideas have everything to do with me and do not represent the views of KOMU-TV, KOMU.com, SmartDecision08.com, Reynolds Journalism Institute or the Missouri School of Journalism.
