IWS

David started writing about the Internet in 1996, long before blogging was born, when he launched a pioneering newspaper column called Plugged-in Politics that was distributed nationwide by Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service. Plugged-in Politics examined how government organizations and campaigns were using the fledgling technology of the World Wide Web and email to deliver messages and sway opinion.

The technology is older now and has developed in ways unimaginable 15 years ago, and David now uses his years of experience with digital technology to advise clients on how to use it most effectively to communicate their messages.

At IWS, he works with all our teams – technical, design and client services – to craft integrated campaigns that draw attention and drive action.

David came to IWS from Virilion, a Washington, D.C. digital consulting firm, where he led the firm’s editorial services for the last six years, most recently as Practice Lead for Social Media and Content.

He became executive editor of National Journal Group’s Greenwire news and information service in 1999. During his tenure, he expanded its offerings and added new content until it was sold in 2000. He then served as editor in chief/director of publications of Executive Compensation Resources, a research service that focused on the compensation practices of executives at the very highest levels of corporate America.

Earlier, David spent 12 years covering Congress, politics and the White House as a Washington correspondent for Indianapolis Newspapers Inc., owner of The Indianapolis News and The Indianapolis Star. His political coverage included presidential nominating conventions, presidential debates and interviews and travels with presidential candidates.
