The vitals: I am a Roy H. Park Doctoral Fellow
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working on a Ph.D. in
Journalism and Mass Communication. Thus far, the experiences accrued during
the early professional and academic chapters of my life, have equipped me with a
diverse and admittedly paradoxical set of talents. “Making sense” of the latter
is a task that will undoubtedly take several more, yet-to-be-written, chapters of
my life to accomplish. Thankfully, I am eager to compose such an overture. Forays researching
digital media, organizational and professional studies, communications, online marketing
and political science – not to mention a penchant for overly wordy sentences – are
all merely glimpses into the “rogue” scholar of Journalism that is Robert
McKeever. Consider this a (heavily consolidated) summary of my talents. For
seeking "specifics," it is best to consult the author.
