I’m the Internet editor at the Austin American-Statesman. My job is to make sure we get breaking news up on our sites quickly and to shepherd our social media efforts. I’m the main guy behind @statesman.
If you know me (even just through Twitter or through my blog), make a connection with me on LinkedIn. Or just follow me on Twitter on my personal account. I’m always looking to make new friends 🙂

hey robert. were you in the army? if so, did you go through basic training at ft. leonard wood, missouri in 1988? i went through basic with a guy named robert quigley and thought you might be him.
Hi Robert,
I am writing a piece on newspapers and Twitter and was hoping you could answer some questions:
1 – How does Twitter improve/benefit what the delivery of information and how different it is from RSS feeds or having updates on the website?
2 – How much journalism can you actually provide through Twitter? How important is it to the news operation?
3 – What else can a newspaper — or your newspaper — use Twitter for? Is it useful for newsgathering?
4 – The Mumbai attacks showed that Twitter can help users/citizens go around media outlets to communicate the news. What part does a newspaper play in an emergency situation that produces milliones of tweets without filter or order?
5 – Does the traffic/hits that a Twitter feed attracts for newspapers justify having a person tweeting?
If you’d like to reply directly to my email or send me your tel. info to talk, you can reach me at gabosama@yahoo.com
CHEERS,
GS
