Tribune promotes digital exec
CHICAGO — Tribune Interactive has promoted Julie Anderson to senior vice president/content and integration. In her new role, Anderson will oversee two groups:
– The representation team, which provides strategic assistance to the
company’s business units as they formulate their digital growth plans
and implement new products in their markets, and
– The market services group that provides training and support for
Tribune Interactive’s platforms and products.
Anderson will also assist in the continued development of the company’s newsrooms as dynamic digital content engines capable of meeting news and information needs day and night.
“Expanding Julie’s role was a result of her continued success in building more intriguing content for the company’s interactive sites and increasing our audience,” said Marc Chase, Tribune Interactive’s president.
Anderson has been involved with interactive media since 1994. Most recently, she held the title of vice president/content and integration for Tribune Interactive.
Schurz chooses Tribune Interactive for site relaunches
By the end of 2010 all Schurz Communications websites will relaunch using Tribune Interactive technology, Schurz VP of digital media Kerry Oslund told the South Bend (IN) Tribune, a Schurz newspaper.
Standardizing its online system, making it better, cheaper and faster, was the reason behind the decision, Oslund said.
“The reason we ultimately decided to go with Tribune Interactive is because, along with the technology it will be providing, it will also provide us with new content elements we haven’t had before,” he told SouthBendTribune.com.
Tribune Interactive’s Power to the Producers toolset has been deployed to more than 50 news and entertainment websites so far.
Schurz Communications publishes eleven daily and eight weekly newspapers, several Calif. shopping publications, and owns 10 TV and 13 radio stations, two cable companies, a phone directory and a printing firm.
