I optimize and curate news stories, and develop extensions for online content tools.For optimization, I combine SEO knowledge and news experience to craft headlines and excerpts that appeal to readers while making sense to search engines. I also make sure words, pictures and interactive elements are presented coherently in articles that make sense to readers on all digital platforms. For curation, I use realtime analytics tools and news judgment to select stories for placement and distribution on 11 websites and the newsletters, browser notifications, and mobile apps associated with those sites.For development, I use my programming skills to create extensions that customize our standard online tools to work better for our specific newsroom's needs. This includes web apps for various editing, curation and optimization tasks, a Chrome extension to enhance third-party platforms, and smaller single-task tools that can be used in any browser.I also assist in pulling and editing wire content, write and edit when needed, and back up team members responsible for running our social media accounts.
