I found myself not taking notes or asking questions, but instead just listening with amazement. He owned the floor, kept the classes attention and he is obviously very talented at what he does.
He spoke about the following topics as they relate to news web-sites:
- Owning local breaking news
- Hyper - local content
- Database - driven coverage
- Multimedia overkill
- Evergreen content
- Embrace platform independent delivery
- Dialogue
These are just some of the topics he spoke about on Tuesday as he impressed the class with his knowledge of how involved one web-site can be. The amount of work he puts into a web-site that serves only 50,000 people is unbelievable. He is an example of someone who loves his job.
Rob Curley is a firm believer that people should be able to get information any-way they want it. By the end of his presentation I not only agreed with him but was astonished at the variety of ways people can get their information. New media is amazing!
To check out some of Mr. Curley's work, check out the Kansas University athletic site or Naples online. They are some of the most well respected sites in the world!
Great class!
