LYNDA KRAXBERGER coaches students on multi-platform and multimedia storytelling for distribution through the Missouri School of Journalism’s professional news organizations: the Columbia Missourian, KBIA-FM and KOMU-TV. Kraxberger’s roots as a newscast producer at KCNC-TV in Denver and WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Fla., shaped her interest in visual storytelling. In 1993, Kraxberger joined the faculty at Missouri as the executive producer of KOMU-TV, the only university-owned commercial television station in the United States that uses its newsroom as a working lab for students. Now, she merges audio and video editing techniques with print to create “new” story forms online. In 2006, Kraxberger received the Journalism School’s highest teaching honor, the O.O. McIntyre Fellowship. In 2007, Kraxberger received the William T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence, an award that recognizes the University of Missouri’s most outstanding professors.
