Anthony Moor has spent most of the new millennium helping newspaper newsrooms find their way in the digital world.

He is Deputy Managing Editor/Interactive at The Dallas Morning News where he directs the newsroom’s new media strategy and operations and helped grow dallasnews.com traffic 70% in his first year. In 2008 the site was honored with RTNDA’s Edward R. Murrow Award as best non-broadcast Web site.

Previously he served as editor of OrlandoSentinel.com, a 2007 Knight-Batten Award for Innovation winner and 2006 Online News Association general excellence finalist.

Moor was New Media Editor at the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle, where he devised the paper’s convergence strategy, and won a 2003 OJA for creative use of the medium.

Mr. Moor developed an interest in interactive media at San Francisco’s KRON-TV during the dot-com boom, while covering ventures with names such as RealAudio, Hotwired, Quokka and PointCast.

The lure of the Internet startup eventually enticed him to join a broadband business news pioneer called On24, as a financial correspondent. Although that company’s aspirations deflated with the rest of the bubble, Mr. Moor’s commitment to digital news only increased.

In his early career, Mr. Moor was an investigative reporter in Buffalo and state capitol bureau chief in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He spent two years in Tokyo working variously at the ABC News and CNN bureaus.

Mr. Moor serves on the board of the Online News Association and chaired its 2005 conference in New York. He holds a degree in Astrophysics and American Civilization from Williams College. And he's been on Oprah -- although not for any professional reason!
