I’m a visiting professor of journalism at the University of Oklahoma. I teach advanced reporting and multimedia journalism classes. I have 26 years of professional reporting and editing experience for newspapers in Washington, California, Texas and Oklahoma. I spent 16 years in the Washington Bureau of the Los Angeles Times, where I covered the White House, Treasury, Iraq, elections, energy, the economy and other assignments. I also worked as an assignment editor responsible for directing teams of reporters covering the White House, Congress, Supreme Court, State Department, Defense Department, CIA, FBI, politics, domestic policy and national security.
I am teaching two courses during the Fall 2008 semester. The first is In-Depth Reporting, in which upper-level and graduate students learn how to conceive, plan and execute complex print and multimedia reporting projects. The second is Multimedia Journalism, a junior-level class that prepares students for the new world of converged print, broadcast and online journalism. During the Spring 2009 semester, I will teach State Capitol Reporting, in which upper-level students write weekly legislative stories for client newspapers around the state.
