About

I always find “about” pages hard to write, so I have borrowed a biography used for a panel debate:

Joanna Geary is a young digital journalist using social media to build communities around regional newspapers.

She started her career at The Birmingham Post as a business journalist and, since then, has gone on to design build and maintain the newspaper’s new blogging platform bringing together more than 30 journalists, industry leaders, academics and experienced bloggers.

She has also launched The Birmingham Post’s new news, business, sport and lifestyle feeds on micro-blogging service Twitter.

It’s a little outdated as it was written before I became development editor for the paper, but I think you get the gist.

Also, please remember that the views expressed in this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employers. Thanks!

I can be found in numerous places online - the most common being:

Twitter as @joannageary (or @bhampostjoanna if I’m working)

LinkedIn

Facebook
