I am an assistant professor at the Annenberg School of Communication and former editor of this august publication. I stepped aside to work full-time at teaching online journalism and researching new media topics. I'm particularly interested in blogging and study it closely -- with great fascination.
Some day I hope I have the nerve to start my own. Meantime, I'm your typical anatomy professor.
