Dave Rhea

I loved what Dave had to say about embracing the digital age. He made so many great points about how to use it and the importance of using it.

I also really liked his blog hub for The Journal Record. The idea that all of the journalists at the newspaper each had their own blog was terrific. Writers all need to have their own voice out there and it is extremely important for them to do that. It is also important for writers to... Write! Yup, I said it. Writers need to be writing.

If a reporter has one story per week published in the paper and then has two blogs per week posted on the publications website, it is only going to be a matter of time before his writing picks up. Writing the news story will become much easier the more a reporter writes and to have all of the writers blogging regularly, and of course related to their beats, is genius.
