GroundReport Updates
Before founding GroundReport, I worked in Business Development at file-sharing software company LimeWire and as a political reporter on the Security Council for the US Mission to the United Nations. I also co-founded the New York Citizen Journalism Meetup and am a contributer to the Huffington Post and Jay Rosen's NewAssignment.net.
I've spoken at NBC Universal, NYU, Digital Hollywood, Jeff Jarvis’ Networked Journalism Summit and the Waldzell Institute, where I was a 2007 Architect of the Future. I built GroundReport to help people share their stories and deomcratize the media.
