Retired from UNM after 10 years of teaching, research and service. I'll continue to advance public service journalism through local news research and public media consulting. In my first year I launched The New Mexico News Port -- an innovation, collaboration and publishing hub. News Port connects the school with professional partners. (http://newmexiconewsport.com). I created several courses, including Innovations in Media Entrepreneurship. I also expect my UNM work to build upon my experience as the Donald Reynolds Chair of Ethics in Entrepreneurial Journalism at the University of Nevada -- where I designed and launched the media partnership "The Nevada Media Alliance" and focused on ethics in journalism.My research and consulting will continue to target the journalistic needs of public media. This includes tracking trends in local NPR stations, training aspiring news directors and consulting on station projects.Teaching writing, reporting and production in the multimedia journalism track.

I help spread the vision of a more connected and collaborative local news ecosystem and serve as part of a project team that helps foster the growth of ecosystem news in communities. The job includes conducting interviews and organizing meetings to gather feedback and help introduce the ecosystem model to audiences and stakeholders locally. A report will document the work to help identify opportunities and challenges to building a more sustainable, collaborative and engaged news and media ecosystem in the community... including profiles of the region with a focus on key innovators, exciting experiments, ongoing struggles and a narrative of the overall arc of community information needs over time.
