We are fortunate to be joined tonight in class by Patrick Cooper. He will discuss his past and current work managing digital development projects at USA TODAY.
Patrick is part of USA TODAY's Product Innovation team. He was previously the newsroom's network editor, coordinating "network journalism" strategies for reader engagement and community building.
Since joining the organization in 2003, Patrick has served as an online breaking-news editor; co-founded the On Deadline news blog; and developed storytelling-friendly workflows, CMS design and newsroom training.
He has also been active in Gannett's innovation programs and USA TODAY's strategic development groups. Patrick is a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and a native of Washington, D.C.
I've invited Patrick to share his thoughts on developing multimedia projects at a large organization, and how that process has changed between now and the launch of On Deadline in January 2006.
Please welcome Patrick to the gtownmmp community.
