Editor Jim Heaney, along with Geoff Kelly of Artvoice and S.J. Velasquez of The Buffalo News were interviewed for their take on writing for digital media. Heaney discussed the possibilities and challenges of digital story telling and running an investigative reporting center.

“What we need to be, above all, is independent, aggressive and accurate,” he told Buffalo Spree.

“We can’t ignore, though, the need to present news in the format that younger people want. I think more journalists are seeing that locally. But digital story telling requires a lot of manpower and resources. It can’t just be cutting what’s in the paper and putting it on the web.”

The story, entitled “Keeping it real in the digital world – online journalism in Western New York,” is not available at Spree’s website. So pluck down your $4.95 and take a close read.
