Exposing journalists to new technology

About the Author

My name is Jason Dean, and I am a journalist and technology geek that resides in Southern Wisconsin.  I earned my masters from the University of Wisconsin in journalism, but have been coding since the mid-90’s.  Before moving to Madison for school I lived in Milwaukee for close to a decade.  I write for Dane101.com – a local news site in Madison.

In early 2008, the newspaper I was an intern at The Capital Times newspaper in Madison Wisconsin.  When the newspaper announced it was dropping its print publication to become a web publication, I wrote an article suggesting what changes they needed to make to succeed.  After reading it, my editor asked me to join the transition team, and I accepted.  This cemented my love for digital journalism and the changes that were ahead for the industry.

The future of journalism is exciting, and I look forward to helping it successfully adapt in a new era.  This website is only the beginning.  I am available for consulting and currently for hire.  You can contact me at jd [at] mucktech.com, or follow me on twitter at @The_Dean.
