I am now reporting and producing on a weekly basis for Columbia News Tonight, a weekly webcast from The Journalism School at Columbia University. So far I was fortunate enough to be Executive Producer, Managing Editor, Producer and Reporter for back-of-the-books stories and for breaking news.
I designed the website and the two flash graphics and installed a Google Analytics account. Click here for the entire site and here for my stories only.

Christiane Amanpour attended the DuPont Awards Winners’ Circle inside the Lecture Hall this year to talk about her winning documentary “God’s Warriors” but also to react to criticism by earlier remarks from Ira Glass who said he could have never voted for this years winners.
Amanpour: “Yes, we are serious about that. The world is a serious place. The things that confront us are serious things. We don’t want to make fun or make light of the serious things. That does not mean that we cannot create compelling, interesting television.”
