Local TV News Online
I worked at KOMU-TV8 in Columbia, Missouri for 3 years. All of that time I have been involved in content, design, development, editing, and producing for KOMU.com. I started as a web editor writing and producing content to go into a new content manager that the station had licensed (Avid Active Content Manager). From there I build up quite a list of stories that I worked on, over 1,400 before leaving to concentrate on social media and online community building.
In addition to the daily editing and producing work, I periodically managed teams of reporters and field producers to ensure that online and new media needs were being met in the field. My management and producing skills allowed KOMU.com to see a lot of growth and new online features including slideshows, behind the scenes video, raw interview footage, and the beginnings of an online community building effort.
Here are some examples of stories and web packages that I worked on at KOMU.com:
In addition to working for KOMU News, I also have had a summer internship with FOX 4, WDAF-TV in Kansas City, Missouri. While with WDAF I,
- Researched, developed, and launched a Kansas City Pets micro site
- Implemented and wrote a Before You Go daily email update
- And worked breaking news like the Kelsey Smith Murder case, all while moderating blogs, discussion boards, and chatrooms.
My sound news judgement has allowed me to take on leadership, and team cooperative roles in television newsrooms. Through my creative and entrepreneurial drive I’m able to take stories to a higher and more interactive level for online and on-air viewers.
