About
I'm a journalist and academic specializing in the future of local news. My next book, co-authored with Ellen Clegg, will be called "What Works in Community News: Media Startups, News Deserts, and the Future of the Fourth Estate." It will be published by Beacon Press in early 2024. Follow our updates at our website and podcast as well as my blog, Media Nation, both in the links below.
