  15. Are you having trouble reaching your online audience? You might not be reaching them where they’re at. 21
  16. Where are they? - Twitter - Flickr - Aggregators - Facebook and other social sites - YouTube - Google News 22
  17. So, now that you know where they are … 23 These tools will help you maintain your organizations digital identity and brand.
  18. Start sharing content 24 The easiest way to start sharing content, is by contacting other news organizations. Examples: - Baltimore Sun and The Tennessean swapped RSS feeds - Commercial Appeal and The Tennessean joined up and conversed with audience via Twitter - TennesseeGreen.com contacted HuffingtonPost about a breaking TVA story - News Sentinel and Tennessean traded links on a UT salary story
  19. Find the influencers 25 Reporters asked to look at stories and to think where and to whom stories could be pushed to. If it’s a celebrity story, which online community might find the story interesting? If it’s a breaking news story, which news organization should be contacted? If it’s a community story, who in the community might be interested?
  20. The new mantra in the news room is: Push content out to bring the audience back and be a one-stop shop 26
  21. How? There are more tools you can use to get started … 27
  22. Twitter News and information in 140 characters or less - Get tips on breaking news stories in your community - Send out information and links to the community - Know the topics the community is interested in and saying about you. - Have a conversation with your readers - Customer Service 28
