WSDOT – using social media to get the word out on transportation

via ONA / SPJ Meetup.com page

Hello all,

Heading over the Cascades? Trapped in your car during #snOMG? Figuring out a way to get around summer road closures? WSDOT aims to help you navigate through all of it with innovative and responsive use of social media. Jeremy Bertrand, web manager and media strategist of Washington State Department of Transportation, will chat with us about how he developed this government agency’s policies and practices at the next ONA-SPJ Seattle Meetup Tuesday, July 26, at 7 p.m. at Jillian’s.

This is our fourth in a series of the #Newsnext meetups, where we’re talking to interesting locals working in the digital space. If you’re interested in gathering with writers, editors, photographers, producers, developers, designers, engineers and anyone else with an interest in the production of news, Jillian’s will have a cash bar and some great space to meet with like-minded digital professionals.

Any questions, feel free to let us know.
Hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Monica, Tiffany, Mark, and Paul
