Matt Thompson
Matt Thompson: Adjunct Professor. Manager of Digital Initiatives (and Mischief) for NPR. That means exactly what it sounds like. He's built digital communities for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Knight Foundation, and the Fresno Bee, among others, but if he were forced to choose a favorite at gunpoint, it would be the blog he co-created, Snarkmarket. One of the inaugural Donald W. Reynolds Fellows at the University of Missouri, Thompson currently serves on the board of directors of the Center for Public Integrity. He has been an advisory board member and adjunct faculty member of the Poynter Institute. Along with four co-founders, he's created an event series called Spark Camp, which brings journalists together with others from many different industries and backgrounds. View profile
