DFM chat on digital strategies for small newsrooms

Journalists, Digital First Media peeps, anyone who wants to are going to participate in a Twitter chat Wednesday at noon, Eastern Time, to talk about all things journalism.

Today we are talking about digital strategies for smaller-sized newsrooms. As more and more channels of distribution open and social platforms multiply, how can a spartan newsroom adapt to them? What should be prioritized? We all know what's ideal when it comes to publishing high production values, time-consuming engaging Facebook-only videos. But is it realistic? What IS realistic?

Today we are talking about developing and executing a realistic digital-first workflow for newsrooms, taking into account resources and audiences (so you might not need a Snapchat or Instagram strategy if you work on a rural area with no cell reception.) But the question remains, how do you report during the day as a true digital-first entity if you still have to get a paper out? Well, let's find out, shall we?
