Center for Journalism Ethics

As director of the Center for Journalism Ethics at UW-Madison, I participate in efforts to foster discussion of journalistic practice and work toward the highest standards of serving the public with integrity. Founded in 2008, the center holds a national conference each spring, focusing in 2017 on Truth, Trust and the Future of Journalism.

My specific responsibilities for the center have included:

• the digital presence for the annual conferences, including overseeing a student social media team and streaming and archived video
• writing for its website, including recent pieces on covering transgender issues and year-end ethics wrap-ups
• establishing a student fellows program to bring undergraduate and graduate students into the work of the center
• fundraising and donor relations
