- About Me
- I'm a journalism teacher and former reporter, writer and editor for Bay Area and national publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, United Press International and Newsweek. I am also co-managing editor of the Oaktown Teen Times, a student-written newspaper with a circulation of 10,000.

So I'm excited about a forum where we can dig down into what makes us journalists and look into how we can stay relevant for the next generation.

Greetings from the valley of the sun and the national high school journalism convention
Well, here I am in Phoenix, and everything is at once so new and yet so old.
Everyone is talking about the death of newspapers. Everyone is talking about the rebirth of journalism -- through blogging, tweeting, website designing and online magazine-ing. The theme of this convention is "Power Up," and there are dozens of workshops on writing for the web, taking great photos, doing podcasts and even scrapping your school newspaper in favor of a news magazine (more on that later).
