OJR: The Online Journalism Review

Larry Pryor

La Canada, California

I am an associate professor at the Annenberg School of Journalism and am a former editor of OJR. I left online journalism to work full-time at teaching environmental journalism. I had been an environment writer at the Los Angeles Times before getting into new media.
I'm attempting to combine my work in visual journalism with environmental coverage. Digital models can help us connect data points into more understandable patterns. Mash-ups are great tools.
