She also produces the award-winning Cronkite online magazine (cronkitezine.asu.edu). Her scholarly research focuses on the role of images in shaping ideas and public opinion during the early years of the Cold War, ethical concerns about publishing violent images, and the visual framing of the Iraq War on the Internet. Before moving west in 2002, she enjoyed a long career at the National Geographic Society -- senior text editor for National Geographic magazine, senior articles editor for National Geographic Traveler, senior producer for nationalgeographic.com, and editor-writer in the Book Division. She lives in Tucson with her herpetologist husband, two cats, four Gila monsters, seven desert tortoises, two box turtles, and a dozen snakes.
