• Engagement is More Than a Click | Kevin Jones | The St. Louis American
Successful community engagement comes in many flavors. While digital efforts are important and need to grow, news connections and loyalty. And no, you don’t have to be a big metro paper with a large staff to produce successful events. The benefit is not just about connecting your news organization to the community, but creating an opportunity for the community to come together and have an experience among themselves and your operation. Kevin Jones of the weekly St. Louis American will tell you how.
