I truly believe journalists need to be open to new opportunity to connect with communities and learn how to share. Any time a legitimate organization launches a new way to communicate, I’m going to jump. I’m curious. I’m hungry to connect. I want to learn its potential. That’s what I’ve done inside Google+. It is [...]

I’m constantly looking for a way to guide anyone into contributing to good journalism. It’s been my goal for a long time. It should be easy for any person to learn about their community and then pitch in on what they know. Here’s a really interesting article about how the tide is turning.I’ve always felt [...]

There’s this debate in journalism classrooms: How much time do you spend training students on software and how much time do you spend teaching about the actual thought process and skill of being a journalist.
