I’m a Ph.D. candidate and assistant instructor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas, where I research and teach about emerging forms of digital media production and culture — in particular, what these changes mean for the future of journalism. For my 2010 dissertation, I am studying the nature of journalism innovation through a case study of the Knight News Challenge. I have published a number of peer-reviewed articles on topics including blogging, citizen journalism, framing, media economics, and news consumption behavior.
