Building My Resume In Social Media

Here is an event I was part of over this past weekend. This is something that I have not written about yet but may in the future. I was selected to take part in a year long news experiment with the Charlotte Observer, one of North Carolina’s largest newspapers. This is due to the hyperlocal [...]
