Christine M. Tracy
Christine M. Tracy is a media ecologist, journalism professor and a former reporter. She holds a Ph.D. from Rensselaer in Troy, NY, where she studied the evolution of media and worked as a founding editor of Computer-Mediated Communication, one of the web’s first e-zines. Tracy wrote The Newsphere: Understanding the News and Information Environment (Peter Lang, 2012) to combat disillusionment with news. She coined the term ‘newsphere’ to depict a more dynamic, interactive and responsible news environment that builds on the integral theories of scientist and phenomenologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
