About Roger Simmons
High-quality, impact journalism, Social media, SEO, mobile, digital newsroom integration and product development are a few areas I focus on in my job. How did I get to this point? After spending more than 20 years in print journalism - 13 of those as an award-winning editor in the Orlando Sentinel\'s sports department - I made the decision to move my career to online. Things move fast on the Internet - and I quickly went from being a humble podcaster to Senior Online Editor to Breaking News Editor for print and online to Associate Managing Editor for Online at the Sentinel. Since one of my earliest jobs as a videotext (remember that?) editor for AP NewsPlus, I\'ve been fascinated by news technology. Now, I am helping chart the course for journalism\'s digital era - and bringing everyone along for the ride.Specialties: SEO, social media, mobile, product development, leadership, management and a positive can-do attitude.
