I was the managing editor of NewsTrust from July 2010 to July 2011, and I loved it. Now I'm a staff writer at ReadWrite, and my own site is Everything is ablaze!.

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, where I learned the importance of the civic freedom to disagree. I graduated from Brown University in 2009, completing an independent concentration in Music & Mind. That taught me how to read and write, and it showed me the awesome responsibility held by those who control the discourse.
I joined NewsTrust because I believe in it. The media message is so confusing and distorted that we need each other to help sort it out.
I love imagining new media businesses. I don't think it's as daunting a task as it might seem to rebuild media and civic institutions. It's just a matter of adjusting to new ways of thinking about the gathering and dissemination of information, which are common sense to me as someone who grew up in the Internet Age.
