Charlotte-Anne Lucas wrote her first news story on a manual typewriter, and recently spent two years teaching online journalism, web publishing and design, digital storytelling, interviewing and innovation at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

This year she was named project manager for NOWCast SA, a San Antonio online, non-profit citizen journalism startup, funded under a Knight Foundation Community Challenge grant. She also is editor of Building43.com, Rackspace's online editorial venture, whose contributors include A-list blogger, Robert Scoble.

Her journalism has earned dozens of awards, including being named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She's worked for newspapers in Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, San Francisco and San Antonio, and her freelance work has appeared everywhere from the New York Times to the Auckland (New Zealand) Herald.

She went web-only in 1999, and became a managing editor of TheStreet.com, an online-only financial news web site. In 2003, she became Content Director of MySanAntonio.com, a converged news Web site of the San Antonio Express-News and KENS-5 TV, which in 2005 was ranked in the top four media news sites nationally. Both TheStreet.com and MySanAntonio.com became profitable during her tenure.
