Before I continue my blogging for the week, I have to give major props to Joe Murano. He filled in for Adrienne Peterson on her dot com shift and did a great job. He got the email sent out, the FirstView text message sent out and the few other dot com duties all on time. What a way to learn on the fly.
Shift Work
As I already have hinted at, Joe really made the dot com shift run super smoothly. I noticed I am still having problems getting the Broadcast III students getting in their freeze frames. The B2ers just need me to show them and then they do it with no complaining. I understand that capturing video takes a little longer than normal, but it takes just a few seconds to freeze frame an image. On the bright side, the B2ers have learned that they have to freeze frame an image for the web.
Other than that it was the same stuff I normally do on a KOMU.com shift – Missouri headlines, lead images, transferring stories, etc.
Smart Decision Blogging
Like I told you the other day, the blogging, or lack there of, has me pretty bummed. I feel we need to approach the situation a different way but don’t know how. We have visited group after group. We’ve talked to young and old, Democrats and Republicans and still no blogging. We sent out over 100 letters encouraging people to blog and still not one. I guess I just feel like we are spinning our wheels as nobody has blogged yet.
I have a theory behind this. No offense to mid-Missourians, I claim myself to be one. I just am not sure if they are that tech savvy yet to blog. Another hurdle I see is that most have opinions and issues they discuss daily, but don’t want to make them public and attach their name it them.
On the bright side, Mike Zwiefel of the Missouri Young Republicans has put our blogging information in his weekly newsletter to members. Hopefully this will help.
That’s my blog for the week. I hope you have a super week and those mid-Missourians start blogging.
