    Seattle Woman is a free magazine (but glossy and very nicely produced) – not sure where you can find it but the July cover story is about four Seattle women who are considered “masters of social media,” and two are from West Seattle – Shauna Causey and your editor here. Not online yet but Shauna kindly found a couple extra copies and got them to us – here’s the pic (if you don’t know Shauna, that’s her at left, with Monica Guzman, formerly of seattlepi.com and now of Intersect, and Lara Feltin of Biznik, whom I think may be a former West Seattleite):

    Pioneer Square photographer Ingrid Sheldon-Pape did the photos, including the one in the pic, which involved each of us having posed separately under the Viaduct behind the building where she has an artist loft, wielding our social-media gadgets.

    Major congrats, TR and a question. Do you consider WSB (hyperlocal media) social media? I’m surprised — in the same way you’re not a “blog”–the term social media seems a trivialization of what you do.

    IMO, I think it’s both. The main site is hyper-local news coverage, and the forum page is social media. :)

    Thanks for the heads-up, TR; it’s a magazine I read irregularly, so I’ll be sure to pick it up. I know they have it near the mailboxes at ActivSpace (secure building, so you need to know someone to get in), and I think Kamei (sushi restaurant) in the Junction might have them too. However, I think the June issue is the one out now. They do have pdf copies on their website at http://www.seattlewomanmagazine.com but the one there now is June’s issue.

    CB – this was specifically regarding what’s considered social media now, particularly Twitter and Facebook, which are additional channels and where we don’t just send out WSB links (which is a mistake that many media outlets do – just hook their link feed and don’t participate), but also interact, send freestanding bits of info, etc. – and since we have thousands of “followers”/”friends” on each channel, and spend a considerable amount of time on them during the course of each day/night, that’s what drew Dana’s attention.

    Some consider the blog format a form of social media but it’s not really, any more than newspaper sites with comments are. HM’s take on it is a good point — forums and other message boards are social media, in a way. Although my contention is that ALL media is social … so I hope that label eventually falls away, like the “b” word :)

    Congrats to TR! Nice images too. Not sure Monica Guzman necessarily deserves to be mentioned in the same league as Tracy (considering all of her hard-hitting PI articles on celebrity fluff). But always good to see TR getting some much-deserved press. I suppose we’ll have to wait until the next issue of Seattle Man to see the feature on Patrick :-) (and Seattle Teen to see the coverage of the JMOT).

    Thanks for the update, TR — it makes sense; I’m just a bit sensitive (on your behalf and in general) about anything that seems to trivialize the value of news. I spend too much time with resentful OLD newsies who still think newspapers will make a comeback if they can just get rid of the brats from the online world. They are freqently referred to as the unemployed :-)

    I just found this July issue today at ActivSpace. The PDF version on the website is still June’s issue, but keep checking back to see when they change it.
