Congratulations Scott Pytlik

Scott Pytlik who has been the web editor for the Gloucester Daily Times and was responsible for the roll out of the newly revamped GDT website is moving on to a video game PR with a company called Access Communications PR.  On Scott’s website- http://scottpytlik.com/ he writes-

What’s even more impressive is that gloucestertimes.com has once again won CNHI’s Web site of the Year award for newspapers under 12,000 circulation. The paper also took this honor last year, which was the first year the award was offered. Between our spot news coverage of the Eastern Ave. House Explosion in January of 2009 and the addition of our new Taste of the Times food videos, I guess we had more to offer year-over-year then any of the other 100 newspapers in our company that entered the contest. Because one of the many hats I wear is titled web editor, some people have been quick to congratulate me directly as if it’s solely my award. But really, winning Web site of the Year was only possible because we have one of the most dedicated and hardworking newsroom teams in all of CNHI.

Congrats Scott On Your New Job and thanks for all the help in implementing the blog section into the GDT Website!

From Scott’s website he also writes- In this May 2009 photo, Gloucester Daily Times editor Ray Lamont, right, kisses the 2008 Newspaper of the Year award while I kiss the Web site of the Year award. I’ll be kissing another silver cup soon when this year’s award comes.

Chickity Check It!- Cape Ann BeerandBlog Article In GDT

Last Friday Scott Pytlik from the Gloucester Daily Times emailed asking if I was interested in writing a piece about  CapeAnnBeerandBlog. he had pitched the idea to editor Ray Lamont and once Ray green lighted it I hammered out the basics.

Scott asked if I could also try to explain the differences between bloggers, message board posters, and online commenting for less web savvy folks.

The first few meet-ups we had at Cape Ann Brewing were great and I’m looking forward to getting more folks involved to collaborate and help each other out over cold adult beverages. 🙂
