At 10 a.m. each Friday, I’ve been holding live chats with different business professionals.
Anything from the White Rose Matchmaker to a local CPA firm.
I’m trying to gauge what works.
I’m also trying to figure out ways to use a live-blogging program called Cover It Live.
A few weeks ago, I talked to Mandy Jenkins, digital projects editor at Digital First Media, about what I’ve learned.
You can read about it here on her blog, Zombie Journalism.
And, if you have a suggestion for a future live chat, feel free to contact me by email at lboyer@ydr.com, on Twitter at @laurenboyer or the old-fashioned way at 717-654-0675.
hi Lauren,
I wonder if you’d do a story about guys like me who are of a certain age,
and find it difficult making ends meet? The reason for the hard times
is the economy of course but also, too many applicants for too few
jobs.
There is a bill in the State Legislature (1539?)to help folks on unemployment,
receive on the job training, but what about the guys not collecting?
Anyhow, call me next week if you think it might stir some interest.
Regards,
Dennis Carrington
