Three Suggestions for Self-improvement

Posted by LauraFries.com

1. Register for NewsU’s “Writing Headlines for the Web” webinar on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 with Eric Ulken and Mike Castelvecchi of the LATimes. $20 investment to drive audience engagement? I spend that much on sushi.

2. Check out OJR’s piece “Hits, page views and other garbage we pass off as audience metrics” for an overview of the changing nature of website metrics. (Hint: Time spent is rapidly becoming an important measurement.)

3. And finally, subscribe to Journerdism.com. Will Sullivan is some kinda link-posting machine; he’s a great source of media news.

[Disclosure: I recently taught a few sessions for young journalists at Poynter, home of NewsU. I know Sullivan through Poynter as well.]

    Hey, Laura,

    Thanks for helping spread the word about the headline-writing Webinar — and for telling folks about NewsU.
