NewsRedux.us is the sister site to InOtherNews.us, a directory of new, non-legacy media community news outlets in June 2009. NewRedux is the place I store my observations, personal and professional, of the new online news, especially independent, community news start-ups.
I am a fellow with New America Foundation’s Media Policy Initiative examining community and local media ecosystems in Scranton and Seattle, among other work. A large part of the Media Policy Initiative is analyzing and applying the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of a Democracy report “Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in the Digital Age.”
I am a former newspaper reporter-turned-industry observer. I was laid off from the Scranton Times-Tribune in 2009, yet I kept all my journalism organization memberships and I go to as many journalism conferences as I can afford in a year.
