Website Advisory/Social Media Committee

Established in 2009, the present website advisory committee provided important input about look, design, content and organization as the website was rebuilt using a Drupal content management system. With the inauguration of the Drupal site in January 2011, the committee will continue to advise on these issues.

  • PSC Wins eight Metro journalism awards

    TarletonCermele.JPGThe PSC won a total of eight prizes, including first places in its class for best reporting, best editorial and best website in this year’s annual journalism contest sponsored by Metro New York Labor Communication Council.

    Clarion Associate Editor John Tarleton won first place for best reporting for his coverage of a building renovation project (“City Tech Renovation Goes Awry”) that endangered the health of hundreds of faculty, staff and students at the school. Tarleton (holding the award) is in the accompanying picture with chapter chair Bob Cermele.

  • March Update

    At the February Executive Council meeting, the Social Media Sub-committee was created to discuss how the PSC can integrate social media into our website and other communications with members. The first meeting was February 17th. At that meeting, we discussed the capabilities of the website and our concerns about the way that social media has been abused on other union sites. We decided to take several small steps. First, we will experiment with the comments function in the poll module. All comments must be approved. The new poll is now up.
