CoPress will be getting some professional help this afternoon. No! Not that kind! (Although that wouldn’t hurt!) We’ll be speaking with professional journalists about what they would do with the web if they were college media leaders in today’s world.

We’ll be talking to New York Times reporter and former TVNewser blogger and Towerlight Editor in Chief Brian Stelter about what college newspapers can do to become more innovative online, in the newsroom and with readers.

Howard Owens, former Director of Digital Publishing at Gatehouse Media and now Publisher of The Batavian, is also planning on joining the conversation.

Want to get tips from these pros about how to take your paper’s website to the next level in the upcoming school year? Tune in or participate by joining our chat or call-in.

The conversation will take place at 2 pm Pacific, 5 pm Eastern. If you miss it, we’ll publish the recorded version on Wednesday.

We might also have some other professionals stop by, so be sure to tune in and get a fresh perspective on what you need to do both for your publication and yourself to improve.
