In my current role as a Digital Reporter for XYZ News, my primary responsibility involves curating stories for our online platform. My work has required a distinct shift from traditional models to new storytelling formats made possible by the digital landscape. For example, when covering city's biggest music festival, I utilized live tweeting, video snippets and real-time updates via our app, providing our audience with an immersive and engaging experience.
In terms of tools, I have had to get familiar with content management systems, SEO, and basic coding to enhance the delivery and visibility of my articles. Likewise, understanding Google Analytics proved pivotal in gauging audience response and subsequently tailoring content to their preferences.
One challenge was the constant demand for real-time news updates which often disrupts the usual workflow. Over time, I have learned to efficiently manage between breaking news and regular pieces by prioritizing tasks and maintaining excellent time management skills.
