Community-oriented reporting with analytics and SEO

With my local audience in mind, I found important topics, researched and wrote articles, then edited and optimized each one for SEO. I learned to use analytic tech for identifying trending topics, analyzing article performance and mass-posting to social media.

I also delivered a long-form reporting project on traffic safety in my hometown. I owned the whole process: conception, photography, research, writing and social media, then monitored analytics on the site and on Facebook.
