Mac Slocum
Mac Slocum is O'Reilly's Online Managing Editor. He's worked as an online editor/producer/writer at a variety of outlets, and he's taught Web journalism and technology courses at the university level. His fascination with publishing and technology started in college when he put the student newspaper online (fortunately, that early effort has been expunged from the Internet record). Mac holds a B.A. in journalism from the University of Richmond and a master's in journalism from Emerson.
