I just discovered Stephanie on Twitter which led to her blog, which led to this blog. That's how it works. I am in a very similar situation as her. I am online manager at a small paper in Southeastern Washington.<br>I've been trying to integrate many of the tools she mentioned. Initially, it was a slow go with some hesitation on the part of many in the newsroom. However recently I have seen a significant change in attitude. Primarily due to some "successes" we've experienced. <br>We recently relaunched our blogs with better promotion, new blogging platform and renewed dedication from the bloggers. The result has been a significant increase in traffic. We covered the recent election using blogs (written by staff as well as community,) liveblogging (we used Ustreatm.tv,) and Twitter. We got a great response from the community as well as within the company. All of this I believe has led to people in the newsroom being more willing to embrace some of these tools. <br>Reporters have recently joined Facebook, Wired Journalist and one has even expressed a desire to use Twitter. These have all been little victories for me. <br>And we've got an upcoming redesign and I may use Stephanie's idea of liveblogging the launch to get feedback from readers.
