I consistently innovate methodology and technology in journalism. Social media is a main driving force. I am the first person to do a Reddit AMA live on the ground at a major international political event. I used Instagram video as a means to simplify the answering process. Most of the time I use livestreaming mobile apps to report live around the world and interact directly with my audience. Secondly, I am the founder of the http://Tagg.ly app, a tool made for providing context, copyright protection, and brand value to individuals and media organizations quickly and easily.
