As NewsTrust's executive director, I manage creative and business development for our social news network. I founded NewsTrust in 2005 to help citizens make informed decisions based on quality journalism. A former journalist and executive at Apple and Macromedia, I have worked on a variety of digital media ventures: Handtap, leading publisher of comics and graphics for mobile phones; shockwave.com, Macromedia's popular web entertainment site; Apple's Multimedia Lab, pioneering new uses of multimedia in education; and Videowest, creator of a new genre of video journalism for outlets like ABC, MTV and public TV. I have earned four patents for my inventions at Apple -- and was recently elected an Ashoka Fellow for my work as a social entrepreneur.

Excellent report on how the U.S. Supreme Court reached its Citizens United decision to allow corporations to make unlimited contributions to political campaigns. This in-depth article provides a factual, play-by-play account of how Chief Justice John Roberts orchestrated this reversal of a century of law to give "moneyed interests the freedom to raise and spend any amount, from any source, at any time, in order to win elections." Outstanding journalism, well worth the read.
