Steve Outing is a thought leader in the online media industry, having spent the last 14 years assisting and advising media companies on Internet strategy and being on the bleeding edge of media trends. He has written a popular and widely read column, “Stop The Presses!” for Editor & Publisher Online, since 1995, which covers the news industry and its evolution in the digital age.

His current projects include:
* TechToon / Avatar Garage - An online “reinvention of the comic strip” produced with California artist Steve Kearsley. The duo have created a comic about a family of tech-heads and are utilizing innovative social media and social networking techniques to allow the audience to participate and be part of the comic.
* ReinventingClassifieds.com - An initiative to create solutions for the beleaguered newspaper classifieds industry, allowing newspapers to adapt to a distributed-web model and recover lost revenues.
