Jen Reeves’s Summary
I have been a newscast producer for most of my career. While I was managing the KOMU newsroom as an executive producer, I discovered the many new ways to deliver content using online technology. I'm now focusing on those technologies for the television station and helping find new ways to change the broadcast journalism industry... Along with other forms of media. During the 2008-09 year I have the opportunity to be a faculty fellow with the Reynolds Journalism Insitute.
