Reese News Lab
Reese News Lab is an experimental lab that researches the desirability, viability and feasibility of new-media ideas.
Capitol Hound
Capitol Hound is a searchable transcript database and keyword alert system for the North Carolina General Assembly and a project of the Reese News Lab. I played a number of roles in the development of Capitol Hound. In the summer of 2014, I worked to sell subscriptions to lobbyists, lawyers and news organizations for the NCGA’s short session. In the spring of 2015 I managed operations for the daily recording and creation of transcripts for the first four months of the NCGA long session.
The Forum
In the Fall of 2013, I investigated the desirability, viability and feasibility of a news publication for prisoners. My team created a marketing and business plan as well as a prototype and capped the project off with a final pitch. View that documentation here.

I also was a guest on the Media Shift podcast, Mediatwits, on their #AdviceForYoungJournos episode in May 2015.
J-school Hackathon
My team won the first-ever Journalism School Hackathon hosted by PBS Media Shift and Reese News Lab. The Raleigh Public Record challenged us with the question: How can we provide greater transparency into local government planning decisions and actions?
We had two days to brainstorm solutions, create business models and prototypes, and pitch our product. We created an online dashboard that allowed town residents to watch town meetings and up and down-vote what their representatives were saying.
