About Me:
In brief: I report. I edit. I blog. I shoot and edit videos. Sometimes gather audio and sometimes shoot photos.

I am currently the editor at large for online and multimedia at The Miami Hurricane, the University of Miami student newspaper. I previously served as editor in chief from August 2007 to May 2008.

I spearheaded the creation a new site for The Hurricane using WordPress, working the Hurricane's webmaster in summer 2008, www.themiamihurricane.com.

I have a blog about journalism, The Linchpen.

The first links to some insightful posts about blogging.

A Wired connection

The annual WeMedia conference is being hosted at the University of Miami this week. I've done a few blog posts about it here. For the opening session Tuesday morning, I saw a familiar face enter the auditorium. I went to Wired Journalists to check my suspicion and, alas, I was correct: it was Dave Cohn. As the speakers talked, I starting following Dave on Twitter, then he start… Continue

Top Ten List of Tips for Journalism Students

I compiled this list Top Ten List of Tips for Journalism Students - The Linchpen on my blog almost two weeks ago. I've gotten some good feedback, but wanted to expand the discussion.

What advice would you give to student journalists/journalism students?

Great job on your SPJ feature!

I was never a member in college. I can see what a great resource it is for budding journos. In the same token, the School of Communication and The Hurricane didn't have a formal relationship when I worked there, either. (Aside from a faculty advisor.) I always thought that was beyond dumb.

Glad to see things better integrated.

The Miami Herald was where young talent went to get experience back in the day. Sounds like nothing has changed in that respect.

Yeah, I picked out the afternoon sessions I wanted to go to, but deadline (always busy on Wednesday) ruined those plans. I'm actually still dealing with a possible printing issue, at least from my dorm now--oy. Sundays are quiet and easy by comparison.

I was able to catch part of a few events in the auditorium by watching the live webcast. I also checked in with Twitter a few times.

I've been thinking about sending a proposal for the challenge, we shall see what scheme I can formulate...

The rest of the sessions were good. I feel VERY stimulated. Lots of good conversations. I wish I had more time to live-tweet it. You would have liked the one on the Knight News Challenge - if you haven't applied before - you should

Yes, Canes must stick together. Not to presume anything, but if you need any advice on breaking into the Newspaper biz, I was a reporter at Newsday for 11 years and was hired right out of college.

I guess the $30 per issue did pay off. Thank you Miami Hurricane!

So by registering for this, what does it do for me or the Hurricane?

Hey Greg! I am really glad you found me! It makes me too happy to know where my high-school newsroom is :) I have to tell you that I went to your blog when I got your comment and I loved it! You are doing a great job. Keep it up because I will follow any advice you put up there.
Oh, don't even get me started on Spain, and El Pais and how fantastic the whole experience was. I absolutely fell in love with that newsroom, the journalists, the city and the publication itself. I will be too lucky If I have the chance to work for them.
I am very surprised that you visited El Pais! Where else did you go during that trip? Well, where else have you gone on any trip? Let me know!
