I've had way too much fun developing a unique voice for PG Feed, our M-F general newsletter, and That PG Weekend Thing, our weekly events newsletter. In the process of digging into those, I've learned enough about both the form and our specific vendor that I'm able to help develop newsletter ideas, train new authors and help out with existing newsletters. We're generally hitting targets for opens and clicks; more importantly, we're developing personal connections that result in an expanding base of registered users.

With dozens of breweries in Western Pennsylvania and more on the way, this is the perfect time for a video series tracking the region's craft beer scene. In a new episode every other week, I focus on a single subject — a brewery, a beer style, an event or another facet of the industry — but all will include a look at what makes the industry and its people as colorful and successful as it is. http://newsinteractive.post-gazette.com/beerme/

As a member of the web team at the Post-Gazette, I've become an expert at digging into what I'll politely call the "intricacies" of our CMS, writing digital-friendly headlines and SEO keys and effectively using social media to both bring readers to our site and to help take down the barriers between the newsroom and our audience.
