About

I’m Kurt Greenbaum, an editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where I’ve worked since August 2002. I’ve worked closely as an editor for both the newspaper and for STLtoday, involved with all aspects of publishing the site, as social media director and as an assistant city editor. I’ve been a journalist since 1983, working as an intern for the Lancaster New Era in Lancaster, Pa.; the Chicago Tribune; and as a reporter and editor at the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale.

I was editor for an online start-up called dbusiness.com (later called localbusiness.com). I think there’s still a site out there with those domains, but it’s nothing like the one I worked on.

I have been interested in social media for a long time; my interest began long before anyone started calling it “social media.” As a member of the team that got the Sun-Sentinel online for the first time (on AOL, no less!), I’ve always been most interested in the reader interaction that the web facilitates. Hence, the new position at the Post-Dispatch.

I hope I’ll learn a lot from anyone who reads this blog. And thanks to Marijean Jaggers, the STLWorkingMom, for her encouragement to get this up and running.
