Paul Doherty’s Summary
1) I started my career as a Reports Generator at CISION, US, a fast-paced broadcast monitoring office in Oakland. I managed the production of Buzz Reports™, which are customized marketing reports that gauge a company's level of television exposure. Under strict deadline I researched, analyzed, edited, and designed reports for clients including American Red Cross, GQ Magazine, Victoria's Secret, Ford Motor Company, and Careerbuilder.com.
I also wrote articles for The Daily Review, The Fremont Argus and The Oakland Tribune as a Sports Correspondent for ANG Newspapers. I developed my professional writing and reporting techniques, built up my portfolio, and then used my experience with ANG and CISION to become the Sports Editor at the Morgan Hill Times.
2) As Sports Editor I wrote articles, and designed and edited a four-page section under strict deadline. Many of my stories were picked up by the Gilroy Dispatch and Hollister Freelance. In managing the sports desk I mastered the art of newspaper layout, and balanced my time between "walking the beat," reporting, writing stories and designing the sports pages.
Newspapers are dying so I went to work in new media ...
3) As Associate Editor/Content Producer for Mountain News Corporation I manage the deals section of OnTheSnow.com, and all content for MountainGetaway.com. Writing, editing, content management, Search Engine Optimization, and Social Media Marketing are essential duties. I manage OnTheSnow.com's social network, and I edit and produce the lift ticket and season pass deals sections.
Professional goals include: Applying my print journalism work ethic to new media technologies and public relations, learning and utilizing PR 2.0 techniques, and transforming OnTheSnow.com into the largest snow-related social networking site on the Web.

I attended UH, Manoa as an exchange student on two occasions: during my junior year (2003), and also at the end of my senior year (2005). I graduated from Chico with one upper-division journalism class pending, and it just so happened that UH was offering the class I needed during their summer semester. I wrote feature articles for the student-run campus newspaper Ka Leo O (The Voice of ) Hawaii, and I passed my final college course with an A. It was a great way to end my undergrad studies!
