I
believe the fundamentals of newspaper journalism – relentless
investigation, fair reporting and clear presentation –
are paramount in the age of the Internet.
The Web has changed the industry,
but it should be for the better. It shattered television and radio’s
monopoly on immediacy and gave newspapers a new avenue for breaking news.
Newspapers, I believe, need to harness the Web to deliver the same quality
of information that brought them to prominence. A good story is
a good story no matter the medium.

I’m an experienced
newspaper reporter with a strong grasp of emerging technology. I
am trained in video and audio production – essential skills,
I believe, in the future of newspaper reporting.
I now cover the City of Binghamton
for the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin
in the Southern Tier of New York. As a designated mobile journalist,
I often file breaking news and photos remotely from a laptop.
While in college at the University
of Pittsburgh I worked as an intern at The Times of London
and the Pittsburgh City Paper. After graduation,
I worked for two years with the Cortland Standard
covering the police, courts and county government beats.
This Web site provides an easier
means to view my résumé and clips. I have selected articles
and multimedia projects that demonstrate:
- Extensive experience with computer-aided reporting
- Aggressive coverage of breaking news
- In-depth reporting on enterprise projects
- Clear, concise and engaging writing
- Strong grasp of new and emerging technology in the news industry
