Great tips and Jeff writes what’s on many people’s mind. A lot of cool projects happen simply because two people look at each other and say, “let’s do this.” Once you have that foot in the door, more will follow.

That’s not to say workflow isn’t still a huge issue. Many newsroom processes need to be retooled with new areas and input in mind - web production or design isn’t an add-on, but an integral part of good digital storytelling.
