Surprise!
Late in the day today I surfed over to the Poynter Institute’s “E-media tidbits” column* (which I’ve been reading daily for over five years now).
And what did I see? Me**.
In a post by Amy Gahran about Open CMS systems for newspapers, Lisa Williams was nice enough to mention MySite as an example of “current efforts to push the news CMS envelope.”
Lisa is a member of Newspapers on Drupal along with other recent Knight Foundation winners. And we have a MySite user group, too.
* Poynter is a non-profit journalism foundation that also owns the St. Petersburg (FL) Times.
** The picture is an old photo I took of myself in the mirror, using the first digital camera I ever used (in 1999) while working my first newspaper job. Then I PhotoShopped it to look cool. I think the photo is a goof, so I use it for an avatar frequently.
[Note to self: maybe you should apply for a Knight grant….]
