LAT Social Media / Community update
Several quick notes from the Social / Community bureau:
I’ll be holding weekly Social Media drop-in sessions to share successes, field questions and fight crime. We’ll start Thursday, Feb. 3, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the A1 Conference room. There will be no set agenda; it’ll be open mic for an hour. Bring lunch if you’re hungry.
Reader photos: Southern California Moments, a collaboration between Photo, Features, Metro and our readers is producing some incredible results. We are picking one reader photo a day – capturing a Southern California moment – for 2011 and posting them on L.A. Now and a page that shows all the photos. The response has been very strong. Readers have submitted more than 1,300 photos on the site and our Flickr group.
Another daily deal: Reader Erik Shveima is drawing the front page of the Los Angeles Times every day for a year and blogging about it at Mixed Media Daily. We’ve added a widget to the L.A. Times Community page to pull his latest work onto the site (it’s in the right rail of the Community).
