PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Chief Executive Officer, Oates Associates Inc., Coral Gables, Fla. (2000 - present): Oates Associates, Inc. Independent business specializing in editing and writing about technology, science and

medicine as well as consulting on educational technology. Projects have included writing special reports on computers, peripherals and networks for K-12 education (eSchool News: The K-12 decision maker’s technology and Internet newspaper), a teachers’ guide for an educational CD on volcanoes (Scholastic’s The Magic School Bus in Volcanoes) and books surveying educational technology in U.S. public schools (with Rita H. Oates).

Editor (2007-2009) and News Editor (2003-2007), International Edition of The Miami Herald, Miami, Fla.: Prepare daily news budgets and work with staff to edit and design an English-language newspaper for South

American and Caribbean markets. The paper is 20 pages daily and 40 pages Sunday with news, business, sports and feature sections. As a small staff of six, we do it all -- select photos, write cutlines, edit stories and package it all on well-designed pages. While much of the content is world and national news repurposed from the main Miami Herald, other content is originally selected and edited for the International Edition.

Managing Director, Technical Standards, American Welding Society, Miami, Fla. (1998- 99): Besides directing the department’s operations, I personally handled a project to convert all of our publications

into Acrobat/PDF electronic format and to make them available for online sales and distribution. Marketing Director, American Welding Society, Miami, Fla. (1998- 99): Developed the creative concept and seven individual ads for a six-month advertising campaign to promote the

Society’s annual trade show. Media components included magazine advertising and direct mail. Made the direct-mail list decisions and buys.

Assistant Managing Director, American Welding Society, Miami, Fla. (1991- 98): With a major assignment as editor of the Welding Handbook, I introduced desktop publishing, using

FrameMaker, Illustrator, and Photoshop, to the editing, graphics design, layout, and prepress production of this multi-volume book. Editing the Handbook includes shaping contributions from 22 volunteer committees into a coherent book of uniform style understandable by a general technical audience.

Education Director, American Welding Society, Miami, Fla. (1987-91): Personally handled the promotion and marketing of the Education Department’s seminars and conferences,

which included identifying target markets; purchasing direct mail lists; writing, designing and producing brochures; and writing news releases and other promotional materials.

Visiting Associate Professor of Journalism, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1986): Served as chief consultant on the R.J. Reynolds Sports Sponsorship Newspaper PR Research Project, which

studied the media exposure received by cigarette brands in the coverage of sponsored sports events such as the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament and the Marlboro 500 car race. Computer-based content analysis techniques were used.

4

Coordinator of Computer-Assisted Instruction, School of Journalism, Indiana University at Bloomington (1977-80): Developed and programmed three computer-based instructional programs for the School of Journalism. The

lesson on Associated Press style (with Rita Haugh Oates) was subsequently reprogrammed for all popular computer platforms and has been used in dozens of journalism schools across the country. Conducted a five-year study of the effectiveness of computer-assisted English grammar review on the writing of journalism students. I have made many presentations on the uses of computers in journalism education at numerous national conferences, conventions and workshops.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE (COURSES) Public Relations Writing Journalism 349 helps upper-division students to develop the professional writing skills expected of beginning public relations practitioners, emphasizing the different approaches required for particular audiences and media. The focus is on the basics of good writing—grammar, punctuation, sentence structure—as well as the art of writing—word choice, rhythm, nuance, tone. Students learn how to change their writing style to suit different communication tools. (Indiana University, Fall 2010, Fall 2011, Fall 2012) Crisis Risk and PR Opportunity Journalism 261 prepares students for preventing and handling public relations crisis situations. The course explores answers to key questions: How do organizations mitigate reputation damage when they find themselves in the midst of public controversy? How do some assess and manage risks to avoid controversy in the first place? How do advocacy groups and corporate adversaries plan strategic communications to shape public debate on their issues? Students select issues of current interest, monitor organizations with stakes in these issues, analyze the communications and other relevant actions of these organizations, and integrate their analyses into a broad framework of crisis and issues management in public relations using blogs and a class website. (Indiana University, Fall 2011) Principles of Public Relations Journalism 560 is designed to provide a theoretical and practical foundation in public relations for graduate students who are considering careers in public relations. The lessons learned in this class may be applied to for-profit businesses, politics, charitable organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, trade and professional associations, and religious organizations. Effective public relations is vital to the well-being of any organization. Strong public relations programs help an organization build relationships with its key publics to accomplish its mission and goals. (Indiana University, Fall 2010) Writing About Science English 107, a course for science and engineering students, is the second and last in their freshman composition sequence. My classes followed a special theme, Shared Elegance: Making Meaning through Science and Writing, described on the syllabus as follows:

The elegance of key scientific ideas lies in their simplicity - a small insight may answer large questions. The elegance of fine writing is similar - a clear and succinct explanation may illuminate complex ideas. A shared elegance in science and in writing about science is key to improving the science literacy of today's society. Cultivating this elegance in writing about science is the focus of this course. Americans rely upon science and technology to win wars, cure disease, and preserve our environment, while being skeptical if science can do any of this. As a result, many political issues revolve around science and technology and the social changes they work. These issues may be too important to leave entirely to scientists and politicians. Citizens may need to understand them better.

5

Students in this course will examine scientific research and technological advances that are important to society and how such importance is best communicated to key audiences. Such audiences include professional groups, government, and mass media. Rhetorical differences will be explored as students develop their writing elegance in a mixture of forms, with various purposes, for multiple audiences. (Miami, Spring 2003).

English Composition I English 105 is meant to introduce students to the kinds of reading, writing and thinking that invigorate a university community. A single course cannot teach everything about such invigorating work, nor can it provide a formula for producing "good writing." Instead, English 105 asks students to read academic essays, to reflect on their style and organization, and to use them as guides for exploring their own academic writing. These explorations will take a variety of directions. Student writing may often be directed back toward the authors, or may extend authors’ projects, or may use an author’s ideas for another purpose. This course aims to engage new college students in ways of learning through writing, how to reflect on what they are learning, and to give expression to their ideas even as they are discovering. (Miami, Fall 2002). Advanced Business Communication English 330 will stress the importance of effective written communication in the professional environment. We will account for the diversity of domains encompassed by this term “professional environment” by focusing on audience-oriented strategies for writing in numerous professional genres and forms. From traditional memos and letters to newer electronic conventions and collaborative techniques, we will experiment with a range of writing styles useful in the professional environment. (Miami, Fall 2002). Introduction to Mass Communication Survey of mass media history, media’s role in democracy and culture, the business of media, and professional careers and practices in today’s media (Internet, television, radio, newspapers, magazines and books). (Miami-Dade Community College, Wolfson campus, Fall 2001; MDCC Kendall campus, Spring 2002). Basic Communication and Writing Skills This was a favorite course and was required of all communication majors at the University of Miami (CNJ111-Writing for News Media) and the University of Alabama (MC102-Basic Communication Skills). This included majors in news-editorial journalism, broadcast journalism, film studies, photojournalism, public relations, advertising, and speech communication. Covered styles of writing for all media and included film scripting and speech writing. At Alabama I conducted the general lectures and supervised the writing labs for five semesters, with eight graduate lab assistants helping with 300 students per semester. (Alabama, 1980-83; Miami, 1983-86; Indiana, Fall 2012). Communication Research Methods Introductory graduate course in methods of social science and communication research. Covered scientific method, sampling, survey methods, experiments, field research, content analysis, statistics and data analysis. Emphasis at the University of Miami, COM602-Communication Research Methods, was on interpreting and presenting results and on being able to read and understand the research literature. At the University of North Carolina, The Carolina Poll provided a practical setting in which students learned the research process, actually designing questionnaires, drawing a statewide random sample, conducting telephone interviews, analyzing survey results and writing a research report. (Miami, 1985; North Carolina, 1986)

Computer-Based Communication I created and introduced this course into the graduate curriculum to address the state of the art in computer-mediated communication (CNJ598-Computer-Based Communication). The course covered mass media systems like CompuServe and Viewtron to interpersonal communication through personal computer networks. The focus was on the application of communication principles to make this new medium more effective. The course was featured in CompuServe’s monthly magazine in an article by Byron Scott, “Teaching Videotex: Universities Educate Tomorrow’s Telecomputing Professionals,” Online Today, September 1985, pp. 12-15. (Miami, Fall 1985 and Fall 1986) Science, Technology and Medical Writing Teaching in this area, in which I had practiced for a decade at the General Motors Research Laboratories, began with an independent study at the University of Alabama, where my student, Leon Tune, was able to publish an article about the causes of hypertension, “The Great Salt Shake-Up,” Bestways, December 1982, pp. 70-75. At the University of Miami, I created and introduced this course in the graduate curriculum, as Science and Technology Writing (CNJ595), to teach principles and techniques for communicating science, technology and medicine to general audiences. While the course focused on science writing, students were encouraged to undertake science communication projects in any medium. Projects included video features and a science museum exhibit in addition to science articles. (Miami, Fall 1985) Introduction to Public Relations I taught this course at three universities -- Miami (COM306), Alabama (APR231), and Indiana University (J427). Required of all public relations majors, except at Indiana where it was an elective for journalism majors. Covered writing for print and television media, public relations strategies and techniques, media relations, and public relations planning and management. The Indiana class ran an “agency,” Public Relations Educational Student Services (PRESS), in which each student had a campus or community client. (Indiana, 1973; Alabama, 1981-83, Miami, 1984) Organizational Communication This course covered techniques and practice in public relations communication for organizations. I taught this for six semesters at the University of Alabama, with a focus on practical projects. During two semesters, the class published a newsletter for the College of Community Health Sciences. Another semester, a student’s project for the course was published in a professional journal (Ronald E. Hawkins, “Our U.S. Military: A Comparative View of Recruiting Techniques,” PR Casebook, October 1982, pp. 9-12). (Alabama, 1980-83) Communication Theory Communication Theory (CM601) covered fundamental theories and models of the communication process. This course was required of all communication graduate students. (Miami, Fall 1984) Editorial Writing Editorial Interpretation of Contemporary Events (COM401) covered editorial writing techniques and practice for opinion pieces and editorials. This was an elective course for advanced journalism undergraduates. (Miami, Fall 1983)
