David Cohn has written for Wired, Seed, Columbia Journalism Review and The New York Times among other publications.

While working toward his master’s degree at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, Cohn worked with Jay Rosen as the editor at the groundbreaking Newassignment.net in 2006, which focused on citizen journalism and ways news organizations could explore the social web.

He has been a contributing editor at NewsTrust.net, a founding editor of Broowaha and most recently created Spot.Us, a nonprofit that is pioneering ”community funded reporting.” In 2010-2011 he was a fellow at the Reynolds Institute of Journalism and is a frequent speaker on topics related to new media and beyond.
