Noah, This is extremely helpful. Short makes sense to me (the reporter is dubious about making it under 20 minutes; I differ). And getting a sense of the traffic for one of your more popular episodes will help the reporter and I decide whether this…

The Eagle-Tribune began doing podcasts when I joined and I think we were growing it pretty steadily before we were redirected to other projects. I still believe there is real value in doing them if you hit a good combination of elements. They're not…

Hi Daysha, Thanks for your response. I can tell you that the reporter and I were thinking of more than just straight recording and posting. We've done that, and the analytics numbers were less than encouraging. But a tightly edited conversation abo…

Hi Andrew, I am a radio person and I can answer questions about equipment, recording technique as well as style. I'm pretty sure what most newspapers do is straight recording and then post the sound online. I can tell you that this is a great servi…

Bio
I worked for two-plus years as a copy editor before switching to online producing Jan. 1, 2008. Now I manage content on spokesman.com, the online version of The Spokesman-Review. I update, package and edit stories and multimedia. I'm interested in connecting with people who have ideas for keeping newspaper websites dynamic and relevant.

Hello. Does the Spokesman offer Web internships? I tried looking around online and couldn't find much of an answer about types of internships or application deadlines.

I'll be at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. I'm pretty excited.

Hi Andrew,
I was an online producer for my school paper then a copy editor. I'll also be an online editor for the Indy Star this summer. I, like you, am always looking for tips on keeping Web sites dynamic and interactive.

We have developers, but they don't work inside the newsroom. Good luck with the redesign!

Hey Andrew, no we haven't met. I'm relatively new to web producing for a news site. I am not trained as a journalists but rather as a graphic designer that dabbled in web design. I got into web producing when I got my current job. Maria Gonzalez is my partner and we both applied for jobs at the same time, got them, made the move from Los Angeles and I just threw myself full-bore into it. Started finding blogs, started reading articles, started poking around, started shooting video, learned iMovie, attended a few workshops, learned Final Cut and I am still learning. I'm hoping to pick your brain a bit as well. I too was hired initially as part-time copy editor/part-time web content editor and starting this month was moved over the to web side of thins full time. So there you go, that's me in a nutshell.

Thanks for the add. And no, I'm far from solo here. We've got an online director, a multimedia coordinator/videographer, a full-time programmer with another to be hired, a producer/videographer, an online city editor, two online breaking news reporters and two online producers (including me). We've also got a dedicated database reporter, although that's sort of an experiment. After our layoffs/reorganization, our editor decided to make a big investment in online. And in a couple months we're supposed to have site redesign, so we'll also give the appearance of being super invested.

I have a staff: one multimedia reporter and one Web content producer. But we also have three people from other departments who do the night update on the Web site certain nights of the week. Are you solo?

Thanks for the note. We redesigned Recordnet.com last year and we're starting to create some cool multimedia, but I want to do so much more with the site. How do you like being a content producer?
