SPJ's Cleveland Pro Chapter and Campus Chapter at John Carroll University had the opportunity on Monday to host a delegation of four radio and television broadcasters from the Kyrgyz Republic at John Carroll University. 

The group included Lola Kulinova of Volna Issyk-Kulya TV and Radio in Karakol, Gulmira Osmonova of the Mediamost Public Foundation in Talas, Ulukbubu Amirova of Radio Salam in Batken and Bekmamat Kochkonov of Public TVR Company E1TR. They were accompanied by two Russian interpreters and two people from the Cleveland Council on World Affairs. 

The discussion ranged from our visitors' experiences founding new, independent media following the collapse of the Soviet Union to their current efforts to promote gender equality, diversity and community in their work. 

One highlight of the event was Amirova's singing: In a rich and beautiful voice, she shared the jingle written by staff at Radio Salam in the southern city of Batken, when the station first went on the air a decade ago. 

"We were basically imitating what we saw or what we heard on the airwaves," Amirova said in Russian, through an interpreter, to chuckles from her Kyrgyz colleagues. (The photo above was taken shortly after this comment.) 

"We didn't know a jingle was called a jingle. We knew that there had to be something preceding the newscast, so we made up jingles of our own." 

WCPN morning show host Eric Wellman and Amirova, who at one time hosted Radio Salam's morning show, also drew chuckles when they shared their experiences of reporting for work very early in the morning in cold weather. 

John Carroll broadcast journalism professor Mark Krieger shared experiences in operating a community radio station with Osmonova. Krieger later took the group on a tour of WJCU-FM 88.7, the John Carroll campus and community radio station. 

And Kochkonov's experience of operating public television and radio under the same roof prompted Wellman to comment on Ideastream's similar setup. 

The delegation was particularly interested in knowing about the role of SPJ in support of journalists throughout the United States. We discussed things like the Legal Defence Fund, which helps reporters and editors embroiled in court cases, and the lobbying efforts of SPJ at state and national levels for legislation such as shield laws to protect journalists from having to reveal anonymous sources who could suffer harm as a result.

SEO CONTENT SPECIALIST - ROSETTA

There are three main areas of concentration for content specialists: onsite optimization, offsite optimization and content strategy. Content specialists can choose one area to focus on or more than one, based on their individual interests and skills. 

Onsite Optimization

Ideally a Web page will have 250-500 words on a page and custom title and Meta tags that use 3-6 keywords. By using these keywords throughout, a theme for that page will become more evident to the search engines. The keywords selected for a particular page should be weaved throughout the page's content and code. Keywords with the most monthly searches should be used in the most prominent positions, such as starting a title tag. Onsite optimization tasks include, but are not limited to:Conducting keyword research; Writing title, Meta description and ALT tags; Writing on-page copy; Optimizing on-page copy; Identifying and optimizing header tags 

Offsite Optimization 

Many tactics are utilized to increase the number of inbound, relevant links to pages on a site. Quality inbound links serve as a "vote" for that page by another, and help the search engines to 1) Understand the page content; 2) Establish that the page is worth being linked to; and 3) Judge the page as an authority on a certain topic. 

Press releases and articles are syndicated online to increase the number of links into the client's site. At least one link is created by including the site's URL in the boilerplate. Some newswire sites allow more links to be embedded in the press release, so we create links using keywords as anchor text, pointing to relevant, lower level pages on the site. The links should be spread out within the release, with only 3-4 links per release. 

Offsite optimization tasks include, but are not limited to: Writing press releases / articles ; Optimizing press releases / articles; Adding optimized boilerplate to press releases; Embedding links from keywords to selected pages on Web site; Identify target industries for PRWeb and 24-7PressReleases.com; Syndicate press releases and articles based on client strategy 

Content Strategy 

Each client may need a unique approach to onsite and offsite content. A press release process deliverable and an article strategy already exist to help educate clients on our tactics. Additional strategies should be developed, based on the following steps: Analyze Web site to determine if more content is needed on- or offsite; Review existing press room to see what type of release topics are being created currently; Optimize any recent, existing press releases and have the optimized version reposted to site; Determine if industry would benefit from original articles; Post articles somewhere on site and/or syndicate them online to create links

Job Requirements

More than two years' work experience in developing interactive content; Deep experience in creating content migration, sourcing, and maintenance plans, taxonomies, working with content management systems, digital asset management, databases and SEO best practices; Strong knowledge of content strategy and online user interaction best practices; Demonstrated ability to lead content strategy throughout the entire web development process; Thorough understanding of how to communicate effectively in a digital environment; Expert level attention to detail; Experience collaborating on design of complex web sites and evaluating web interfaces; Ability to analyze customer needs and define strategies for meeting them; Knowledge of Internet-based business, e-Commerce models, and financial services is a plus; Ability to partner and collaborate with internal and external teams; Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills; Excellent organizational skills and an ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects. 

If you are looking for a high profile position with plenty of room for growth and leadership, this is the opportunity for you. We offer a competitive salary, benefits, performance bonuses, and a great working environment.

No need to wait around for Superman 

 Several student media advisers concerned about the fate of journalism in high schools across the country have started a website to serve as a clearinghouse for teachers who need help fighting the elimination or reduction of their school's programs.


The advisers call their group the Scholastic Journalism Institute, and they encourage people who are concerned about the future of journalism in secondary education to check out their site at
thinkSJI.org. The site includes a map of recent program cuts and urges educators to push harder against growing efforts to drop journalism programs in high schools.

REPORTERS INSTITUTE

Since 2007, SPJ has held the Reporters Institute program to benefit early-career journalists. Graciously funded by the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation, the program brings 36 reporters together for three days of training, networking and camaraderie. 

  The Institute was developed by industry trainers and young journalists who were dealing with the same challenges participants face every day. Those in years 1-3 of their career are invited to apply for the June 12-15 (broadcast and video) or July 10-13 (print and writing) programs. Learn more and apply for the program here.


SEEKING GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY


Public Radio International, The Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity are collaborating on a high-profile project to rate each state's risk for corruption. The effort represents the first in-depth, data-driven account of government transparency and anti-corruption mechanisms in all 50 states, using on-the-ground reporting, high-quality data analysis and citizen engagement. 

 The project is hiring reporters on a $5,000 stipend and requires part-time work between April and December with reporters spending roughly 100-125 hours on and off in the second half of this year. Timetables can vary depending on the reporter's schedule. Find out more about the project, or contact Caitlin Ginley.

The Digital Community and Us: How Are We Affected?, will take place on Sunday, March 27. This program will explore what effect media will have on community and personal interaction.
