About Me
As of July 2010, I took on the newly created web content editor position at The World, a co-production of WGBH, PRI and the BBC. In my role as web editor I am responsible for the editorial direction of our daily online presence and overall strategic vision at theworld.org.
Additionally I am a regular contributor to PBS MediaShift working as a political correspondent. My recent coverage has analyzed the evolving relationship between politics and new media technologies.
During the summer of 2010 I was invited to teach a course on new media technologies and journalism for both gradate and undergraduate level students at Michigan State University. The course I proposed and developed, Social Media and Digital News Reporting, was a interesting experiment in teaching evolving Web 2.0 technologies for application in the practice of journalism. My experience as an adjunct faculty member was rewarding and is something I am very interested in pursuing further. Please contact me (see email address below) if your institution is interested in collaborating on a future teaching engagement.
I also host a current affairs newsmagazine podcast called the Nonchalant Café Hour which formerly broadcast live in Kalamazoo, Mich. on Fridays at 12 p.m. on 89.1 WIDR FM. Recent podcasts are available here. Click on the Nonchalant Cafe tab for more information and to listen to recent interviews.
From 2007-10 I regularly reported for United Press International covering defense procurement and other security industry related stories. I also covered emerging security threats around the world including terrorism and militant aggression.

In December 2009 I completed my graduate degree at Michigan State University’s School of Journalism following a successful defense of my thesis project. During my time at MSU I conducted research on news media bias, news media framing, censorship during war, urban revitalization, renewable energy and climate change .
