As the online editor at the Journal Gazette/Times-Courier it has been my responsibility to re-design, manage and provide content for www.jg-tc.com. Without any staff this task was given to and carried out by own self. Every page and element on the site is something that I was initially responsible for and mostly maintain to this day.
Excluding advertising; the overall upkeep, providing content, producing new elements including most multimedia content or any other publishing is my responsibility.
Working with the newsroom, I have gradually been able to introduce staff involvement in the website in regards to posting stories and even uploading videos. This was done by teaching the content management system and any other necessary steps to the staff working daily to clarify and explain any questions.
In addition to working with staff it is my responsibility to address site related problems that our viewers or users may encounter.
The new site aggressively utilizes new media and provides the viewer with not only more content than ever before, but also richer and more diverse assets. I have not only brought local video to the site, but have increased the production of other media packages like slide shows.
Bringing the site up-to-date and providing more rich content is the cause for our online sales revenue to account for 10% of the news paper's total income.
