From 1984 through 2006, I worked as a full-time newspaper and wire service photojournalist, primarily in Boston and Philadelphia. Since then, I have focused my efforts more broadly across independent social media journalism, journalism education, and the study of trauma journalism, multimedia reporting, and the development of sustainable economic models for the future of journalism.
