About

A photo of meHi, my name’s Paul Balcerak (that’s BALL-sir-ack).

 

 

I’m a web producer with KIRO 7 Eyewitness News in Seattle, and I also manage our station’s social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. (My employer doesn’t necessarily endorse the content of this blog.)

 

Communication fascinates me, and that’s lucky because I’m alive during a time when communication is being massively disrupted. It’s a very challenging time to be in the industry, which makes for a very fun time to be in the industry.

 

This blog is mostly about me trying to make sense of that disruption, learning and finding inspiration along the way.

Im using twitter,facebook,pixelpipe and my Blog is being picked up by both the PI and Bleacher Report. Im an old time Mariners Fan who is trying at age 52 to create a new career as a sports writer. I stumbled across this Blog and was intrigued by your fresh approach to the whole social networking/journalism phenomana. Id love to chat sometime.Im at agitator2@rocketmail.com I look forward to hearing back,Thanks….Jeff

    Paul,
    I have a question for you. I found you through googling the sleepup app comments, but I’m looking for answers and experiences regarding the actual tones this app makes to “give a more restful sleep”. I believe in this kind of work, but I wonder if those tones can affect my brain/ thought patterns adversely. How well did the founder of this app look into the scientific/neurology aspects? Do you know?
    I’d appreciate anything you have to say.
    Darcie

    @Darcie- What app are you talking about?

    Paul! How did I not know that you had this web site? You are such a witty and creative person…not to mention a fabulous writer. I get a good giggle almost everytime I read something you write (well, depending on the topic matter). I can just hear the words coming out of your mouth and it makes me smile.

     Thank you.

    The other thing I often hear people say that they like about me is that I’m quick to respond.
