I can tailor my voice to my audience, whether it's wire copy, community journalism or blogs. My freelance pieces have appeared in the Vancouver Courier, Vue Weekly, 24 Hours Vancouver, the Kelowna Daily Courier, the Fort McMurray Today and Castanet.net.As an editor, I help my writers' stories get the extra leg up they need to be phenomenal and I make sure my outlet has got the best story first. I use my experience to train new writers and build them into leaders. I've got experience in alternate story forms like liveblogs and social media, and can process a video from the record button to the publish button. Layout and graphic design is a focus as well, and I have experience with taking photos that land on the front page.For samples of my online work, go to http://team-bates.com/portfolio-2/.Specialties: digital journalism, news writing, features writing, sports writing, live coverage, politics, online journalism, graphic design, news layout, editing, leadership, training, social media.
