Veteran news executive Michael R. Fancher will join the Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno, this fall as the Reynolds Visiting Chair in the Ethics of Entrepreneurial and Innovative Journalism.
Fancher examines the topic of journalism innovation in a discussion paper titled "Local News: Re-imagining Journalism for a Networked World," to be published by the Aspen Institute this month.
Fancher, for 20 years executive editor of The Seattle Times, has deep experience in the development of new media and the study of ethics. He directed the Times' new-media division for more than a decade and was deeply involved with the company's content and business strategies. He is an investor in and informal adviser to Intersect, a Seattle-based social-media startup.

Mr. Fancher
I had the pleasure of being in Mr. Fancher's first ethics class at UNR. In my opinion he's a great addition to UNR, and he's a good guy.
