    Robert Hernandez Professor of Professional Practice USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism Robert Hernandez, aka WebJournalist, has made a name for himself as a journalist of the web, not just on the web. His primary focus is exploring and developing the intersection of technology and journalism — to empower people, inform reporting and storytelling, engage community, improve distribution and, whenever possible, enhance revenue. He is a professor of professional practice at USC Annenberg, but he’s not an academic… he’s more of a “hackademic” that specializes in “MacGyvering” digital journalism through emerging technologies. His most recent work includes augmented reality, wearables/Google glass and virtual reality — he and his students produce VR experiences under their brand: JOVRNALISM. Their work has won awards from the Webby Awards, the Shorty Awards, the Online News Association, Society of Professional Journalists, among others, and can be seen in Al Jazeera, The New York Times, NBC, NPR, ProPublica, USA Today and in their own iOS/Android app. He has worked for seattletimes.com, SFGate.com, eXaminer.com, La Prensa Gráfica, among others. Hernandez is also the co-founder of #wjchat and co-creator of the Diversify Journalism Project. He has served on boards that have included Chicas Poderosas, InquireFirst, the Online News Association and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (where he is a lifetime member). He is also a Journalism 360 ambassador and program lead. He is the recipient of SPJ’s 2015 Distinguished Teaching in Journalism Award and the 2018 NAHJ Si Se Puede Award. He has made it to imgur’s front page more than once.

    “One extremely rare brilliant mind that I respect greatly.” Jason Harris, The Design Network (US) “Has the wonderful ability to combine leading edge creativity to business problems to produce innovative solutions.” Chris Still, Advertising M&A (UK) Klaus Sommer Paulsen MA IT Interaction Design & Multimedia, IAA Master Class As a concept developer, creative director, designer and producer, I have been mixing multimedia, storytelling and marketing to create award-winning concepts and designs for branded and themed experiences for more than twenty years. Whether I am on or behind the stage, I am dedicated to creating captivating and memorable moments for audiences to strengthen their relations with brands as customers, visitors or employees, and I have done so success- fully around the world for decades. My first successful venture in storytelling was 30 years ago at age 16. My entry into digital media was more than 20 years ago, which lead to the deeper focus on the value of experiences I have had for more than a decade. I am a hybrid of disciplines, capable of thinking both strategic and creative, and I will claim having both a technical mind and an artistic mindset. I believe that my professional diversity helps me bring together cross-disciplinary teams in reaching common goals. I may not be as proficient as the specialist, but I understand his or her world and how it is part of a whole. As I have worked several years with integrated marketing, using research, data, and setting targets to achieve business goals is an integral part of my way of thinking.

    PEGASUS BOOKS FALL 2019 PEGASUS BOOKS FALL 2019 NEW HARDCOVERS THE KING’S WAR The Friendship of George VI and Lionel Logue During World War II Peter Conradi and Mark Logue Following the New York Times bestselling The King’s Speech, this eagerly anticipated sequel takes King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue into the darkest days of World War II. The broadcast that George VI made to the British nation on the outbreak of war in September 1939—which formed the climax of the multi-Oscar-winning film The King’s Speech—was the product of years of hard work with Lionel Logue, his iconoclastic, Australian- born speech therapist. Yet the relationship between the two men did not end there. Far from it: in the years that followed, Logue was to play an even more important role at the monarch’s side. The King’s War follows that relationship through the dangerous days of Dunkirk and the drama of D-Day to eventual victory in 1945—and beyond. Like the first book, it is written by Peter Con- radi, a London Sunday Times journalist, and Mark Logue, Lionel’s grandson, and again draws on exclusive material from the Logue Archive—the collection of diaries, letters, and other documents left by Lionel and his feisty wife, Myrtle. This gripping narrative provides a fascinating portrait of two men and their respective families—the Windsors and the Logues—as they together face the greatest chal- lenge in Britain’s history. PETER CONRADI is an journalist with the London Sunday Times.
