  Wallace House

  Knight Wallace Fellow 2022-2023

  At the Knight Wallace House Center for Journalists I'm working on "Strengthening the Emergency Coverage Plans of Small Newsrooms in the Face of Disaster."After covering earthquakes, hurricanes, and major storms for the last decade, I'm examining the emergency plans of small newsrooms to cover natural and biological disasters throughout the United States. I'm analyzing public policies, programs and resources – existing or future – and identifying instruments, agents and channels that can help these newsrooms enhance and advance their disaster coverage plans. I'm also exploring proposals to classify journalists as frontline workers during these disasters to help them expand their coverage and better serve their audiences during times of tragedy.Classes taken at the University: Extreme Weather in a Changing Climate, When the Earth Attacks: the science behind Natural Disasters, Psychology of Violence, Creative Writing, Digital Photography, Introduction to AR/VR Application Design.

  Reynolds Journalism Institute

  Jul 2023 - Mar 2024

  Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow

  I built ARENA (Amateur Radio Emergency Newsroom Alliance), a toolkit designed to harness the power of amateur radio operations in the aftermath of natural disasters for reporters and newsrooms. Why focus on amateur radio? Simply put, it's the only communication method resilient enough to withstand the devastating impact of a category 5 hurricane. My toolkit will guide you through the steps to get radio licenses as required by the Federal Communication Commission. From purchasing your first radio equipment - which doesn't have to break the bank- to understanding regulations, every aspect is covered to ensure compliance and efficiency. In the toolkit, I explain how in times of natural disasters, the strict FCC rules for reporters are relaxed, allowing newsrooms to use amateur radio to conduct for example vital check-ins with journalists on the field and to gather critical information. Through ARENA, you'll learn how to receive real-time updates from ham radio operators on infrastructure and damage status, like bridges fell down, blocked roads or dams threatening to collapse, and identify communities in need of assistance. You'll also find practical advice on designing and executing drill scenarios and After action reports to hone your radio communication skills after a catastrophe. I want to emphasize that this toolkit focuses on low-cost solutions, targeting small local newsrooms which I considered the first responders of communications in the face of natural disasters. ARENA is available in Spanish and English. Show less
