Fascinating interview -- couple of points:

"The digital literacy of these kids is appalling; they all use Facebook and stuff, but most of them have never read a blog or anything like that."

Digital literacy is good, just not perhaps SEO consultant/journalist standard!

"But I think it’s because education lags behind a bit."

So true...

This is such a great article! I just had a conversation two days ago with a friend who is a high school journalism teacher about the changing nature of the industry and how it is being affected by social media sites. I can’t wait to share this article with her – I loved hearing from a journalist who is dealing with the realities of what must be done for SEO while remaining dedicated to producing quality content. Thanks for posting this!

Good interview, I recognise a lot of it in what’s going on at my current position (quasi in-house SEO at the Belfast Telegraph). Journalists here are struggling with many of the same issues.
