Lisa Loving is an author, award-winning journalist and media activist. As a longtime staff member and volunteer at KBOO Community Radio in Portland, Oregon, she has trained hundreds of everyday people in the tools of independent journalism. She has reported for WIRED, The Oregonian, The New York Times and published her first freelance article — on how to get rid of cockroaches — in The San Jose Mercury News. But she has spent almost her entire journalism career in community media, including a decade as news editor of The Skanner, an African American family-owned newspaper serving Portland and Seattle.
Lisa was one of the University of Oregon Agora Center’s “Front 50” regional innovators in media, and she is convinced that everyday people are — and have always been — key players in our media landscape.
