About Me:
I’m Ryan Sholin.
I’m the Director of News Innovation at Publish2. In Spring 2009, I finished up a graduate degree in Mass Communications at San Jose State University, with a thesis project called ReportingOn, funded by the Knight News Challenge. I recently worked for a newspaper company, and before that, a newspaper.
I’ve been a corporate online news evangelist, an online editor, a reporter, a bartender, a motion picture lighting and rigging technician, a photo assistant, an administrative assistant, and a retail foot soldier in the record store wars of the 1990s.
I’m a self-taught Web developer and designer.
I’ve lived in Fairport, Santa Cruz, Albuquerque, Manhattan, and Miami.
Yes, I am that guy you knew at North Miami Beach Senior High School, Highland Oaks Junior High School, Highland Oaks Elementary School, and/or The Cullowhee Experience.

About Invisible Inkling:
The news business is changing, and so is journalism education, and so are the technological paradigms that supposedly mark the boundaries of both. So, as the nineteenth-century mass communication method of ink-on-paper dries up, it’s time to go stand under the waterfall of clues, open your mouth and your ears, and see how the information flows.
Well that was more visceral than I expected.
The point is, clues are everywhere, but if you’ve got ink on your fingers, you might be looking in the wrong places.
Welcome to Invisible Inkling.
