\"community<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been working as editor of Planetsave for almost 6 months now. (Wow, that’s hard to believe!) In this time, I have continually been trying to think of good ways to engage our reader community. Although, I haven’t delved into too many. Now, though, I’ve got one I’d really like to try out.<\/p>\n

This is something I’ve been thinking about (but probably too nervous to try) for awhile. But a recent post on Mashable<\/a> has finally inspired me to go forward with it and see what happens.<\/p>\n

We have people opening our webpages approximately 100,000 times a month<\/strong>. I know a lot of the people come and go (google searching something, finding what they want, and leaving), but we also have a good-sized community and a steadily growing community.<\/p>\n

I’m sure that many in our community are experts on different topics we cover, and many more are passionate citizens who care and read about these subjects A Lot.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, we have been feeding you news<\/strong>, but I’d like to make this relationship more reciprocal.<\/p>\n

News from You<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

To start with, I’d love to start publishing reader-submitted material more. So, this is how I’m thinking we could do so:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You send us something you have written<\/strong> that you think is a good fit for Planetsave, and we publish it (if we agree it is a good fit) on its own.<\/li>\n
  2. Same thing as above, but maybe we combine or integrate your piece with others in some way (if they are closely related).<\/li>\n
  3. You send us a cool article<\/strong> that you find\/read elsewhere, and we use an excerpt of it or little summary of it plus the link to the full story in a\u00a010 Cool Stories<\/strong> post once a week (or more).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sound good to you?<\/p>\n

    Other ideas?<\/p>\n

    Submitting Your Stories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Oh, & of course, how will you submit content<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

    Put a link or article you’ve written for Planetsave on our Facebook page<\/strong><\/a> or send it to planetsave@importantmedia.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Hope to see some cool stories soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
