In the last year I’ve gone offline for two different five-day stretches. The first was thanks to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and its lacking cellphone service in Crawford Notch’s campgrounds. This past week it took a cruise into Central America to turn off my phone and computer habit. I think the time away [...]

I spend a lot of time talking to my students, former students and colleagues about personal branding. And the more I talk to them, the more I start thinking about younger users of the web. I have had a chance to speak to high schoolers a number of times about the changing world of journalism [...]

In the last year, I’ve watched my use of technology change dramatically… I used to tweet, blog, facebook openly. But I watched myself become more mindful and thoughtful about how I use some of these tools. If you read any of my updates on any of these social media tools, you may think I’m still [...]

I don’t normally write about personal things on this blog… But I’ve realized my work with new media has reached a new level on a personal level this holiday season. In an attempt to save money, I decided to put my efforts online to work. I figured, why not spend time working on a website [...]

I think I’ve settled on a new look for this website. I hope to merge some of the content I work on into one site. I’m not sure if this is the template I’ll stick with, but I think I’ll stay with this look for at least a few months.
While I haven’t had a lot [...]

To take a moment and visit this blog.
I spend so much time helping my students build up their sites, I realize it’s time to do more with mine. So for a while this site might be a bit under construction. I’m planning to merge my blog with my portfolio, twitter, flickr and other accounts and [...]

I spend a lot of time talking. I spend a lot of time teaching. I spend even more time managing a newsroom these days.
Since returning to the newsroom full time after my stint as a Reynolds Journalism Institute fellow, I’ve learned it’s so hard to do things really well when I desperately want to change [...]

I know many others have already written about Google Voice… But I haven’t had a chance to play with it until now. I set up Google Voice for my cell phone and my home phone. I decided to call it using my husband’s cell phone to see what the experience is like. When you call [...]

I haven’t had the chance to blog a lot lately. That’s because I’ve been busy trying to renew and rethink the way KOMU8 News and KOMU.com delivers news to our audience. A big part of that has hovered around using Twitter as an effective news delivery tool for general assignment reports.
It all started back in [...]

I’m in Los Angeles attending the Beyond Broadcast 2009 conference at USC Annenberg School of Communication. I had a chance to learn more about the school yesterday and see how the broadcast and multimedia programs work at the school. Today I’m looking forward to learning more about how others use new media to reach the [...]
