ONA-SPJ Meetup

Hello all,

It's been suggested by some in the digital world that in the era of social media, search engines could wither and die. But many of the leading thinkers in the SEO world say social media will just make search better, more powerful, and more relevant. This week, we'll be chatting with Ian Lurie of Portent Interactive (http://www.portent.com/) about the art of SEO - search engine optimization - and why it matters for your next story at the next ONA-SPJ Seattle Meetup Thursday, June 23 at 7 p.m. Bring your questions about white-hat SEO, social media, SEO tactics and more to Jillian's on Westlake.

Update: SEOMoz CEO Rand Fishkin, originally the featured guest at this meetup, had to reschedule. Thanks to Ian for helping out on short notice!

This is our third in a series of the #Newsnext meetups, where we're talking to interesting locals working in the digital space. If you’re interested in gathering with writers, editors, photographers, producers, developers, designers, engineers and anyone else with an interest in the production of news, Jillian's will have a cash bar and some great space to meet with like-minded digital professionals.

Any questions, feel free to let us know.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,

Monica, Tiffany, Mark, and Paul
