Bio: A recovering sportswriter turned entrepreneurial journalist, I am now leading a company I co-founded called Serra Media. We're making cool tools and platforms for publishing local news and building interactive communities.

I was named as one of Presstime magazine’s “20 under 40” in 2007 and began managing online news operations in 2000 and projects I have led have won regional and national awards for innovation and interactivity. I served as assistant managing editor for interactive news at the The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. from 2004-2008 and new media director at The Herald in Everett, Wash. from 2000-2004.

I am also author of "Journalism 2.0: Survive and Thrive in the Digital Age” and a frequent speaker, trainer and consultant on the topic of new media and innovation for news operations.

Really need to get you to LA sometime soon. Hope all is well. Your book is a hit with faculty and fellows here.
Best, Vikki
