- About Me
- I have the luxury of confining my work to writing about subjects I've laid my hands on, events I've been part of, professions I've worked in. That includes environmental affairs, business, foreign aid, Latin American politics and its indigenous people, business in Siberia and Central Asia, and American politics. I've written fiction for slicks like Mademoiselle and Redbook, written non-fiction about the partly fictional elections in Guatemala and Kazakhstan, served 10 years as book and media writer for American Forests, and now try to confine myself to book length work. Former editor of The Archive and writer for The Chronicle.

- Share your thoughts about how the newsroom of the future should be different . (And if you do, please post a copy of your answer in the forums).
- We have too much information and it suffocates the real news. A newsroom has to be above all the center for a network of highly reliable information providers. It should strive for NSA-like digital screening. In the newsroom that data has to be filtered, evaluated, confirmed and complemented with original research and investigation. This requires sophisticated digital screening and even more sophisticated human organization and talent.
