BIO

After a stint in weekly newspapers, I worked for more than 15 years as a reporter and editor for daily newspapers in Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio, and Nevada. I taught at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before coming to Salt Lake City.

My research explores the historical relationships between newspapers and communities, especially in the American West.

My teaching includes journalism writing and media law.

I served for 10 years on the board of 88.3 FM Salt Lake Public Radio. Earlier service activities included chairing the University Publications Council, advising the campus chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, serving on the board of the Utah Headliners (professional) chapter of SPJ, and judging the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics' Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl.
