New gig

For the last 7 months or so, I was working the assignment desk at ABC News Radio. I’m glad to have had the experience and thankful for the friends I made there. Now, I’m working as an associate producer with a new video team at Reuters. It’s exciting stuff and it’s really great to be [...]
Pirate radio, Guatemalan style

One of the stories I found when I was down in Guatemala last fall was the plight of indigenous community radio stations. In Guatemala, radio is an incredibly important medium. Much of the population is illiterate or lacks access to print or digital media, so radio is the only way to get information. Also, Guatemala [...]

I held off on updating, until my story and photos were published over at Velonews, so here goes the story of my weekend. Last weekend, I jumped on a shuttle to Panajachel with several friends to cover the 18th annual Cycle Messenger World Championships. It’s a tiny little tourist town on the shores of Lake [...]

This summer, I was lucky to get the News21 fellowship at Columbia. I worked with 10 of my peers under a great crew of editors. We produced several multimedia packages on Aging in America. It was a great experience that even afforded me the opportunity to travel to Montana to shoot some video. Yesterday, the [...]
"Truth to Power"
June 9th, 2010 · Comments Off · Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia
If I had to name the piece of work that I am most proud of from my time at Columbia, I would tell you without a doubt that it was “Truth to Power.” Actually, hypotheticals aside, “Truth to Power” is my proudest moment from my time at Columbia. My partner, Evan Wexler and I, were [...]
