The Mid Ohio Food Bank needs a lot of help. Shelters all over Central Ohio are seeing dozens of new families walk in looking for help. The pantries can only provide that help if the Mid Ohio Food Bank can provide a network of affordable food. The best way to fight this is to raise awareness of the problem and mobilize the people in the community who can help.

The Web 2.0 has exploded as social networks and the social behavior of human beings has driven change. When will TV catch up and what will it look like?
Thanks to you, we’ve received all sorts of ideas about how to be a better news and information gathering and disseminating organization. We are working on making some of those ideas a reality. In the meantime, a few of us are looking at blowing it all up and doing it differently. You told us that journalism done socially is the way to go, so, I have a question.
One of the very first questions I heard from several people when we started using twitter is, “are you careful about what you put on there so the competition doesn’t know what we’re doing?“ My question, “Is it about the competition or is it about getting information to people as fast as possible while building conversation and relationships?“
We started our twitter project a while back, and since then have received a request for who is on Twitter. You can go to http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/news/nbc4now.html to see everyone, but here is a list of who they are and what they do…
Our initial meeting focused on what we do at its core and what we can do to better connect with our customers changing expectations. Now it’s time to clean out the closet.
We are at a turning point in our industry, specifically at our station. We have decided to change what we do and how we do it to stay important and relevant in the market and in people’s lives. I want you (the people affected by what we do) to have a say in what we do or how we do it, going forward. Please let me know by commenting on this post what you would do if you ran an information dissemination company in Columbus, OH.
“...People trust people, not corporations” says Jennifer Laycock. Why does television news continue to try and connect with the community using the corporation and not their people?
Why no one has done a TV news story on Twitter, and why Central Ohioans need to know more about what the birdie is saying.
One of our assignment editors caused me about 20 mintues worth of extra work. Why? Because he decided to go have a converstation with someone. What a TERRIBLE idea.
Can television news be saved? A discussion about how social journalism may be the way to keep tv news relevant.
I am Ryan Squire, the Managing Editor of NBC 4. My blog is dedicated to building a better newsroom, but more importantly connecting with the people of Central Ohio to hear what is important and relevant to you. I will share my ideas and experiences to help get conversation going. Television and media have done enough talking TO you; I want to start talking WITH you. I am a huge proponent of social media and believe that it will play an integral role in newsrooms across America. Please let me know what you think about the stories we do, the stories we don't, and how we can help you.
DISCLAIMER: This is not your run-of-the-mill blog. Ryan will talk back to you.
