Brown Bio

Here's my bio, a sample of what you want to do on your own blogs:

Carrie Brown is a recent transplant to the land where Elvis lives and the sweet tea flows. She began working as an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Memphis last fall, teaching media writing and mass communication theory and attempting to spit into the ill wind blowing at quality journalism. Her research examines how daily newspapers are adapting to the Internet.

Brown graduated from the University of Missouri with a PhD in journalism. She got her MA in communication from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and her BA in journalism and conservation biology from the University of Wisconsin, in the state where she was born and raised.

Brown has also spent time slogging away in the newsroom herself, as a reporter for the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram in WI, an intern at the Philadelphia Inquirer, an associate newsletter editor covering Capitol Hill in DC, and most recently, as an assistant city editor at the Columbia Missourian. Brown also managed a training program for the Committee of Concerned Journalists for three years, which took her to newspapers across the United States, both big and small, to talk with newsrooms about how they could best handle the changing economic and technological realities of their business while remaining true to their values.

In her virtually non-existent spare time, she enjoys traveling, reading, running, yoga, and sharing domestic macrobrews with her friends. She lives in East Memphis not far from the university with her fiance, Grant, and her dogs, Sam and Pippi.
