(Update: The Twitter chat went well. Here’s a recap.)
ProfNet has saved my journalistic ass so many times over the course of my reporting career, I long ago lost count.
The PR NewsWire outfit performs a simple but indispensable service: It connects on-deadline reporters with experts and others who have the information the journalists need to execute their stories. It is a big timesaver.
(I can’t mention ProfNet without also plugging HARO, short for Help a Reporter Out, which serves essentially the same function and is also important to me.)
So when ProfNet asked if it could interview me (for the second time), I was happy to oblige. This will occur publicly and live, via Twitter, on Tuesday. Anyone is welcome to monitor the event and even submit their own questions to supplement ProfNet’s prepared questions.
The announcement:
Technology can play an important role in the work of a writer. Yet, it is difficult to keep up with all the latest technology trends. Trends are constantly changing and knowing which device to use becomes a challenge. Julio Ojeda-Zapata, author and technology writer at St. Paul Pioneer Press (MN), will help explain how writers can use mobile devices for their next writing assignment. He will also discuss apps and tools that can benefit writers and make their lives a little easier.
To participate in the chat, join us on Twitter on Jan. 7, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. EST and follow the #ConnectChat hashtag to follow the conversation between @ozejap, @ProfNet and the rest of the chat participants.
If you cannot join us on the day of the chat, you can find a recap on ProfNet Connect the following day. We hope you will join us!
