OJR: The Online Journalism Review

MEMBER PROFILE

Rhonda Shearer

NYC, New York

Homepage: http://www.asrlab.org

I am a researcher and artist living in New York City. I am also the director of the Art Science Research Laboratory (ASRL), which I co-founded with my late husband, Stephen Jay Gould, and the publisher of Tout Fait (toutfait.com), the first online journal devoted to the works of artist Marcel Duchamp. I am also on the Board of Trustees for the newly reconstructed Alexandria Library in Egypt. Following the September 11 disaster, my daughter, London, and I set up the WTC Ground Zero Relief Project, which in 2001-2002 provided over $3 million in supplies to rescue and recovery workers. I have published over 100 papers and reports, and my work has been featured in over 250 publications. My recent investigations have focused on journalism and ethics case studies, which include preparations for a book about the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990. The emphasis at ASRL, is on the use of scientific method in the humanities and the recognition that methods, not people, are objective. ASRL case studies powerfully illustrate that it is only the method of factual verification that produces accuracy in reporting. My 9/11 investigations were acknowledged in Robert Boynton’s The New, New Journalism.
