Blogging, as a form of advocacy journalism, has one simple goal: to . The effective advocacy journalist weaves facts into a clear narrative that not only inspires their audience but transforms them into a constituency ready for action.

I bring an unusual mixture of academic research, teaching, editorial analysis, multimedia production and web analytics to my more than ten years as a blogger focused on the intersections of culture, politics and technology. My blogs culturekitchen and Daily Gotham have been lauded as examples of what citizen journalism should be. I have also contributed to numerous blogs including Kenneth Cole's Awareness blog, TechPresident and The Root.
