This site features my work as a university educator, college media leader, journalist and writer. Since 2020, I have been creating a student public media newsroom in collaboration with the University of Illinois College of Media and Illinois Public Media, where students are producing award-winning multimedia journalism.
You’ll find information about my student media advising, teaching, journalism and original fiction, as well as testimonials from my former students, colleagues and fellow First Amendment advocates.
Since 2020, I’ve devoted my energy to creating a student audio newsroom embedded within the professional newsroom at Illinois Public Media. Charrice Jones and Vivian La, above, were among our first batch of recruits.
