University of Tennessee adjunct professor Jennifer Koella invited me to speak to her JEM 422 class -- one I taught a few semesters back -- early this semester on the topic of mobile news.

I obliged happily, being that mobile is a topic I hit on daily in my job as Content Manager with Scripps.

Most of my presentation focused on the challenges that Scripps and the industry are tackling currently. Fortunately, Wired supplied a great anecdote to kick-off the discussion with their "The Web is Dead" story.

You can view the entire presentation on Google Docs:

Please excuse the "app for that" pun in the title.
