Hi. I’m Amy Zerba, an assistant professor at the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications, where I teach courses in online journalism and visual journalism. I now coach the next generation of storytellers at my alma mater. I have been studying the news habits and non-news habits of young adults (18-29) for the past 10 years. I earned my Ph.D. in journalism at the University of Texas at Austin in 2009 and my master’s and bachelor’s in journalism from the University of Florida. Can you tell I like journalism?

I worked as an associate producer of interactives at CNN.com as well as eight years as a page designer / copy editor at large daily newspapers, including the Sun-Sentinel and Austin American-Statesman.
