Steve joined the journalism faculty at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in August 2007 and has been working to incorporate multimedia across the curriculum. Since arriving at UMass, Steve has developed three courses modeled after his multimedia journalism course. The courses allow students to work in teams in a newsroom-like environment where they work on packages — using video, audio and photos to tell stories. He is also working with students on amherstwire.com, a news Web site staffed completely by students.

Steve has more than 20 years of experience as an editor and reporter for print and online publications, including 10 as an editor at washingtonpost.com. He also edits part-time for espn.com with the NFL and college football blog network.

He began teaching part-time at the University of Maryland in 1998 and has spoken at a number of conferences on issues including Web journalism, blogging, ethics and political coverage.
Steve has consulted for several start-up Web site and also collaborated with Mark Briggs and Jan Shaffer in producing Journalism 2.0: How to Survive and Thrive — A Digital Literacy Guide for the The Information Age.
