There’s been a lot more buzz within the walls of the Meridian Source as of late, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
Over the last three weeks, we’ve hired two new full-time writers as well as a summer intern. Chris, Dan and Presley have really stepped up since starting at the Source, and the fun is just beginning.
On top of the addition of three new writers, the Source is also taking big strides to beef up our web presence.
Going forward, we’ll be web-first, print second ... which means no more waiting for the paper to come out on Thursdays to read our news online.
Chris has really taken the reins with website uploads, and since his start date, readers have been enjoying between five and 10 new in-house stories each day.
This is a welcome change and it’s only going to get better.
Dan has been very active in the community since starting and is looking forward to sinking his teeth into some crime and health reporting, among others, and Presley has been impressing us with her writing, photography, and social engagement. Geoff is also firing on all cylinders after his cycling incident. Look out Lloyd, the news team has been assembled.
Like many media outlets, the Source heavily relied on Facebook to get our stories into the community through social media ... well, it’s been roughly a year since new stories have been unsharable on Facebook in Canada. To that, I say skip the middle man and bookmark meridiansource.ca on your phone, tablet and desktop.
