Damon Kiesow is a professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where he holds the Knight Chair in Digital Editing and Producing. But Dan and Ellen first met Damon about 10 years ago when he was at The Boston Globe, developing mobile products for Boston.com and BostonGlobe.com.

He focuses on something called human-centered design: how readers interact with a print newspaper versus a digital site. Dan and Ellen also look at a collaborative effort to fight corruption in South Carolina, and the vibrant Boston Phoenix archives that have been digitized by Northeastern University.
