GateHouse Media launches new resource for journalists

GateHouse Media has announced the launch of GateHouseNewsroom.com, an editorial resource for journalism professionals.

While the former version of the site, established in 2007, was primarily used as an internal editorial resource for GateHouse editors and staff, GateHouseNewsroom.com's new content and voice will target a wider, external audience of industry professionals. Written by industry experts within GateHouse Media, the website will provide strategy, tips, tools and trends for journalists. Whether you need help figuring out the latest digital media tools, amping up your social media outreach, or tips for investigative reporting, GateHouseNewsroom.com is a one-stop destination for all journalistic needs.

A few recurring sections journalists will find on GateHouseNewsroom.com include:

• AP Style: Brush up on terms and practices from the Associated Press Stylebook in weekly, easy to digest posts.
• Enterprise Journalism: Section highlighting great enterprising work done within GateHouse Media newsrooms, and how other newsrooms can replicate these efforts.
• Social Media Best Practices: Strategies to grow your social media outreach from GateHouse digital gurus, backed by research.
• Strategy and Trends: Analysis of and commentary on the latest practices in digital and print journalism.

"The changes to GateHouseNewsroom.com showcase our commitment to arming journalists with tools they need to better tell stories, navigative social media platforms and change newsroom culture," says David Arkin, senior vice president of content and product development of GateHouse Media. "We believe newspapers – both in our company and outside – can benefit from the wealth of information and insights that are offered on it. We're attempting to offer practical advice while also inspiring newsrooms everywhere to try new ideas."
