I have two main reasons I am running (again), now to represent associate members: First, I want to finish the work I started. Second, I know I can be a strong advocate for members working outside of a traditional newsroom. I’m certainly not alone among SEJ members who have faced career changes in an unstable media industry."

I’m hoping to continue to build upon what we’ve accomplished over the past three years in opening up SEJ. I am also working closely with the Program Committee on our upcoming Phoenix conference, and hoping to continue: It already seems that we could not have picked a better location to tell the stories of the American, and global, future."
