Chris starts off
by admitting he is a Twitter user. Funny. Almost like it is a guilty
pleasure. He works for the San Jose Mercury News and is one of the few
journalists that is excited by the innovations happening in his
industry. Granted, he is slightly younger than the folks on the
previous panel and I am sure that plays into his mindset greatly.
He is finding alternate ways to connect with their local community,
whether through podcasts people can listen to while commuting to work
to posting (gasp!) printed flyers on campuses to get the word out to
the younger generation. They are experimenting with what works best for
the people they serve.
Something he said hit home and sums up ANY business these days: “You have to be a center of innovation to retain relevancy”
