SXSW Interactive 2012 is in the past. On behalf of Next Issue, I was sent to Austin to cover sessions and seek out conversations related to digital publishing. Anything to help magazine and newspaper publishers succeed was fair game.
The Team
The Next Issue team. From left: Claus Enevoldsen, Nicole Martinez and Efren Salinas.
I teamed up with two very talented journalism graduate students, Nicole Martinez and Efren Salinas. In addition to being great writers, they both have specific areas of expertise. Nicole is a master of social media and did a fantastic job of combining original with crowd sourced content to create really compelling articles. When she’s not studying, she works as an Internet Marketing Manager.
Efren is a wizard videographer. He has a knack for boiling down long interviews to compelling 2-3 minute clips perfect for the YouTube age. He’s also an enthusiastic gamer and runs his own gaming site: lonestargamer.tumblr.com. I tell you all of this, in case you are looking to hire, or you know of someone who are.
