    I directed coverage of CNN’s New Hampshire Republic Presidential Debate, held live from Saint Anselm College on June 13, 2011. I assembled and managed a team of staff, student, and freelance bloggers and social media writers, photographers, and videographers/editors who posted frequently in the days leading up, during, and following the debate. The objective was to provide an inside view of the debate and the national media’s convergence on campus. The plan included a cross-platform approach for content updates in multiple formats, including blog posts, videos, photos, and social media (PDF). For the 2008 presidential race, I led similar coverage for two CNN democratic and republican debates (June 2006), two ABC/Facebook democratic and republican debates (January 2008), and Fox News’ presence on campus covering the New Hampshire Primary (January 2008).

  • Chat Replay: The Nuclear Disaster in Japan and Implications for U.S. Nuclear Power
    This is an example of using a free online chat service to highlight the expertise of faculty or alumni  around current events. In this case, I moderated and coordinated this live chat using CoverItLive.com shortly following the March 2011 Japanese earthquake, tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. We worked with a faculty member who was a nuclear physicist and could provide a scientific perspective on the media’s coverage of the disaster. As a result of the online chat, the local NPR affiliate interviewed the faculty member for a story and has interviewed the professor for subsequent news stories. Prior to the event we tweeted multiple news outlets promoting the online chat.
