Operating Principles
Workflows shape outcomes
Metrics are inputs, not orders
Distribution is editorial
Tools matter because time matters
Trust scales slowly
Signals, systems, and news
I work on how news moves online.I’ve spent the last 20+ years in local journalism, helping newsrooms adapt to the internet as it keeps changing the rules. Today, I lead digital strategy for a major local news organization, spanning web, social, video, newsletters, alerts, and streaming.Most of my work sits at the intersection of people, systems, and platforms: building workflows that scale, using analytics without letting metrics drive the room, and making it easier for journalists to do good work under real deadlines.I’ve launched digital products, grown large audiences, led teams through breaking news, and partnered closely with product and revenue to keep the operation sustainable.Based in St. Louis. Thinking a lot about where digital news goes next.
