Bio

I am a 26-year-old graduating senior at SJSU, who is working on a print journalism degree. Though relatively green with regard to media and media studies, my interest piqued as soon as began studying journalism about 4 years ago. I consider my self forward-thinking, though I am usually skeptical, or at least questioning, of anything considered authoritative.

After graduation, I plan to continue to work in media, but I am still searching for that perfectly comfortable niche in the field.

My strengths are in reporting and writing. I've always considered myself a natural at gathering information.

Anyone, feel free to contact me at my listed e-mail address.

What's the big idea?

Welcome to the Public Press, an emerging concept for a noncommercial daily Web/print/broadcast collaborative news service. The idea is to put journalism first -- operating as a nonprofit organization that prioritizes public service over commerce. One idea is to eliminate advertising altogether, creating a robustly independent specialized vehicle for serious news. A newspaper born in the 21st century could experiment with new forms of "reverse" publishing -- pulling commentary, blogs and alternative news perspectives into print dynamically. See our frequently asked questions for more details. We have just started to seek grant funding and collaborators, locally and nationwide. We're especially looking for people with business planning acumen. If you do, please contact us. The Public Press project is an initiative of Independent Arts & Media of San Francisco. Please contribute your ideas about how to get such a project off the ground! -- The Public Press project team
