Washington ferries are going hybrid-electric, but disposal of old ones poses environmental, legal risks
An abandoned ferry in the Puget Sound represents a shared struggle across the West Coast: to sell an old ship or destroy it
I'm honored and excited to hear that I was selected as one of this year's Knight-McCormick Leadership Institute fellows. The program offers fellows tailored training and intensive coaching through the Knight Digital Media Center at USC Annenberg, and is offered to media folks who are "are innovating and pushing news media transformation." The goal, according to the program, is to help news leaders move to the next level while learning from their best practices.
I'm thrilled to be part of the program and eagerly anticipating the benefits it will bring to InvestigateWest. Those selected include newsroom leaders from both legacy news organizations and new entrepreneurial operations like InvestigateWest, a new model for producing independent investigative journalism in the Pacific Northwest.
Michele McLellan recently wrote: "KDMC's partnerships with the USC's Marshall School of Business enable it to bring considerable business, strategy and entrepreneurship expertise to its programs."
