Tish Grier’s Summary
I am an innovative and exceptional online community manager, weblog developer and editor/writer, and social media strategist with experience in journalism, business and community development. I've worked with journalists, technologists, and business owners on using the Internet for innovative journalism, marketing and public relations initiatives.
My strengths include understanding and implementing social media (blogs, wikis, message boards, chat features), opening up lines communication and connecting people across disciplines and interests; evaluating social media tools; motivating and organizing project teams; analyzing data relating to weblog/site traffic and participation rates; advising and writing on new/social media and its effects on communication.
My speaking experience includes participation on panels covering the topics of crowdsourced/interactive journalism, business blogging, and online civility--most recently at BlogWorld Expo '08, BlogHer and Supernova 2007. I have also published several articles about online communication and communities, citizen and hyperlocal journalism.
I am a member of the Board of the Pioneer Center for the Arts in Easthampton (PACE) and have served as volunteer coordinator for the Northampton Independent Film Festival (2005 & 2006 seasons.)
