Made decisions on which stories to run, particularly from wire services, and designed pages for several years in addition to editing the copy which went on them, and performed similar duties for digital content. Did web content creation for tampabay.com, chose photos, used SEO keywords, posted stories online and updated channel pages nightly. Chose and posted stories for an email newsletter available to Tampa Bay Times subscribers as part of a greater content management system. I worked in sports but also had experience with news, tbt* and other areas, especially as the newsroom's roster shrank in recent years. Had years of reporting experience; most recently I covered the IndyCar Grand Prix of St. Petersburg for the past seven years and wrote many other stories related to other topics.Though editing was my bread and butter, here are some articles I wrote in recent years, including the 2018 IndyCar Grand Prix of St. Petersburg:http://www.tampabay.com/sports/2018/03/10/just-call-sebastien-bourdais-mr-st-pete/http://www.tampabay.com/sports/2018/03/09/grand-prix-of-st-petersburg-journal-indycars-first-female-race-engineer-at-the-helm-of-hinchcliffe-car/http://www.tampabay.com/sports/autoracing/need-for-speed-is-in-brittany-forces-genes/2316925http://www.tampabay.com/sports/autoracing/race-engineers-also-serve-as-a-drivers-chief-psychologist/2172496http://www.stltoday.com/sports/soccer/world-cup-groups-at-a-glance/article_3206f5bd-93d4-5f65-8258-9645a5ea134e.html Show less
