OJR: The Online Journalism Review

Homepage: http://www.kimpearson.net

I teach writing for journalism and interactive multimedia at The College of New Jersey. I also blog at Professor Kim's News Notes (http://professorkim.blogspot.com) and BlogHer (http://www.blogher.org) for which I serve as a contributing editor. My current interests are in coming up with new models for interactive storytelling, including the possibilities that might derive from employing videogame narrative conventions into news presentation. I have been reading OJR with enthusiasm since its inception, and I look forward to participating more fully in the dialogue here.
