Poor
Professor Green's class wan not enjoyable because of the double-standard associated with this class. Several people got much better zip codes with better resources, yet everyone was supposed to produce the same kinds of stories. Also, not everyone writes the same way. We were graded on this criterion, though, instead of being graded on OUR writing skills.

Executive Director | Senior Lecturer of Communication
Gary
Green
I am a newsroom leader and journalism educator with over 25 years of experience who leans into the digital disruption, fosters innovation and trains the next generation of journalists.
As deputy news director of the Innovation News Center, I lead a team of industry professionals, faculty and students to report local and breaking news, long-term projects and enterprise stories from Florida and beyond.
As digital director of wuft.org, I am responsible for product ownership of our newsroom’s digital offerings on our Edward R. Murrow award-winning website, and integrating that content across our TV (PBS), radio (NPR), social media and emerging platforms.
As co-founder, editor and publisher of Fresh Take Florida news service, I collaborate with faculty and news professionals across the state to lead a select group of University of Florida journalism students to cover the Florida state legislature and disseminate those stories to clients including the Associated Press, CNN and majority of the state's print newspapers and public media stations.
While serving as trustee and vice chair of the board of the First Amendment Foundation, I led a series of student-produced investigative projects that exposed flaws in the enforcement mechanisms of Florida's Sunshine Law.
Through my work with the First Amendment Foundation and nonprofit newsrooms, I lead recruiting and fundraising efforts, while developing short and long-term strategies to allocate finite resources to drive our missions.

The New Norm: A case study of the Orlando Sentinel’s adaptation of new media technologies during high-profile trial coverage
Journalism Practice
This article examines how one Central Florida newspaper used emerging media technologies to communicate and engage better with a newly active audience during its coverage of two high-profile court trials. Through a series of in-depth interviews with participating journalists, the author demonstrates how the Orlando Sentinel disrupted traditional newsgathering and dissemination methods during reporting of the Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman trials, and in doing so, challenged long-standing gatekeeping media theories and exemplified emerging participatory journalism models. Findings show that audience demands for live and continuous information throughout the development of the Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman stories and resulting court proceedings were a driving force in changing outdated journalism paradigms that led to the adaptation of a new norm by the Orlando Sentinel newsroom and journalists. KEYWORDS: Casey Anthony, digital disruption, gatekeeping, George Zimmerman, Orlando Sentinel, participatory journalism, social media, Trayvon Martin
