Experience
Projects:
I led coordination of the Future of Student Media Summit at Ohio University. The event took place in April 2016. Visit futureofstudentmedia.com for more information.
I brought journalists to Ohio University to teach and network with students. In October 2015, five journalists came to critique the student reporters. (Here's a panel with two of the journalists.) In January 2016, three investigative journalists came to hold workshops with students and engage students in investigative reporting. (Here's a panel I moderated with the three journalists.)
