I am the Managing Editor of User-Generated Content at WRAL.com. I moved to Raleigh in early 2007 to launch WRAL.com’s first online community, GOLO, where I manage the day-to-day content direction and long term planning strategies and drive user engagement.
I’ve written numerous policies for managing user-generated content and head a company-wide social media task force.
I’m also author of the book “18 Rules of Community Engagement: A Guide for Building Relationships and Connecting with Customers Online.”
