Lessons in Social Media

by Jonathan Coffman January 5, 2009

Social media doesn’t have to be intimidating, in fact it’s very easy to get started and build a base of information and conversation upon which to learn and grow. As an active participant, researcher, and social-media based employee, I use social media for both my personal life and professional growth. There are numerous opportunities to [...]

We Don’t Need No Water Let the….

by Jonathan Coffman December 10, 2005

http://digmo.org/news/story.php?ID=17471 I’ve never even heard of firehoses freezing before. I guess it was just freakin’ cold out that night. It is unfortunate when the fire department has to take a break and carry bags of salt so they can stand up to fight the fire in your house. Quite unfortunate indeed. I suppose its the [...]

Window Dressing in real life and in paper

by Jonathan Coffman December 4, 2005

http://columbiamissourian.com/news/story.php?ID=17364 I’m guessing this was more of a photo essay in the print edition as opposed to the online. Two smooshed paragraph with nary a quote and two pictures isn’t a newspaper story, its a blog post. Maybe the Missourian has a blog. This could be a nice little event-coverage story, but it had to [...]

Forcing the Armed Forces

by Jonathan Coffman December 4, 2005

http://columbiamissourian.com/news/story.php?ID=17352 Neat idea to include a rural sociologist in the sourcing for this story on armed forces recruiting. The rural focus of the story was a good tactic in this case. The college bonus is bogus, just my opinion and I can’t say that its a very fact-based one at that. I always was skeptical [...]

Blogging from Buses

by Jonathan Coffman December 1, 2005

http://columbiamissourian.com/news/story.php?ID=17318 I’ve never been to the bus station, so maybe it would have been good to include some current pics and surely they have an artists rendering of the final project somewhere. So, uh give me some pics and a survey might have been a nice touch. A little poll goes a long way though. [...]

Pain in Film Follows Fellow filmakers followers

by Jonathan Coffman December 1, 2005

http://columbiamissourian.com/news/story.php?ID=17280 Film festival/cultural event. I find one of the more interesting parts of this story at the end when the conflict comes out about the city funding such an event. It does sound like its one-sided but it is also obvious that the intent was not to hurt of leave out. The story is good, [...]
