Sharing is caring

Barney: sharing is caring

I blogged yesterday about my love affair with Ryan Gosling and the story I was writing about coffeeandprocrastination. Well today they shared my story on their blog and retweeted about it and I must say as a journalist I LOVE it when people share my stuff.

I mean it’s not like this went viral or anything but it’s such a nice compliment when someone shares something I wrote on their personal online profiles. It means they cared enough about what I wrote to click on it, read it (or at least browsed it) and then liked it enough to share it.

As a reporter, we often get feedback from readers in our emails and sometimes through social media and it’s usually complaints more than anything. Some meaner than others but not usually complimentary. When they like something people are likely to tell a friend; when they hate something, they’re likely to tell 10. Not sure who said that but I’ve heard it a lot.

So in short, thanks to those folks who will or have shared my stories via tumbler, Twitter, or Facebook, ect. For us reporter folk, sharing really is caring.

We’ve been giggling at this blog here at the Daily, so Whitney decided to talk with the CU students behind it.
