Later today, I will be accepting a position at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication as the Lead Web Developer for the Carnegie-Knight News21 journalism initiative under Jody Brannon.
I am honored to have the opportunity to build on the on the work that the universities have started at http://newsinitiative.org/. From what I know right now, I am impressed with their vision and excited about the technologies that they are considering implementing to meet these goals… most notably the discussions at the Django Newsroom Group and the resulting open source software, built specifically for journalism, that this initiative will produce.
KJZZ has been a wonderful home for me for the past nine years. And public radio will always have a place in my heart. I am sure that the work I have participated in and the relationships that I have enjoyed over the years will continue into my work at ASU.

John, I’m SO excited for you. I HATE to lose you at the station. After losing Rene, and with other hires and changes, am not sure what to think about the future there. You didn’t say in your blog post when you will be starting.

This sounds very nice John. Good to hear you have this opportunity.
-
Congratulations, John! They are very lucky to be getting you!

I thought I felt a disturbance in the Force…
Congratulations! Looks like this will be a big year of change coming up.

Wow! Wonderful job, John! Don’t hold back!

Congratulations John. A loss to the public media world, to be sure, but it sounds like a great opportunity for you.
