New responsibilities at Union-Bulletin.com
I haven’t posted here in quite some time now. A lot of stuff going on in my personal life as well as my professional life. Came across a link at the Notes from a Teacher blog to a blog post I published over at Wired Journalists.
Carlos Virgen is the latest journo to have community outreach added to his job description. And he’s excited about it.
And I am. It will allow us produce more relevant content and ultimately better serve the community. Along with the change in my job title (I am now online services manager) we also created a new online department and hired a part-time web producer. We’ve already done some exciting work, specifically with our election day coverage. We just launched a new video page and we even have a redesign of our main website in the works. All of which should add up to more traffic, more comments, more community involvement.
Added responsibilty also comes with some added stress, more meetings and the unavoidable brainstorming late at night, in the morning, during the weekend, etc.
Oh yeah and a renewed commitment to this blog. Stay tuned
Hey Carlos, I wonder if you’d be up for throwing in your 2cents on ‘3 things I’ve learned about community management’ for the series on OJB?

Hey Paul, I’d absolutely throw in my 2 cents. Let me know. Thanks.

Carlos, just found my way here via the OJB post mentioned above. I was intrigued by the first point, making direct contact with the community. How have you been doing this? What are talking to these people about?
