Previously, I co-created and ran a popular business blog for a daily newspaper in Mississippi and was the digital editor for two trade magazines in New York. My day currently consists of monitoring for tips and trends, writing breaking and trending stories, posting national wire stories, optimizing staff stories for mobile readers, training colleagues about digital best practices and working with colleagues to promote stories across our various platforms.
