LinkedIn, founded in 2003, is a popular social media site for professional networking.

I have more than 16,000 connections on LinkedIn and am a member of more than 20 professional groups in the television and broadcasting business. Groups like the National Association of Broadcasters, Promax, Radio & Television News Directors Network and TV News to name a few.

Making connections and joining groups is easy on LinkedIn and makes your daily feed provocative and educational.

I have shared what local TV stations are posting on LinkedIn before, and the reason I like it for this column is that when you embed a post from LinkedIn, it displays the accompany explanation for whatever it is that’s being shown.

So in no particular order, here are some examples posted that are relevant to local TV creative services and marketing folks.

The next two I could not embed directly from LinkedIn, probably because the video was a YouTube link.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? It’s a question you’ve been asked many times. But, what was your answer.

At First Coast News On Your Side, the marketing team boldly asked that and showcased the answers in a staff meeting today. Creative Marketing Manager Paul Bulluck asked the simple question in one-on-one interviews with teammates. Each person had no prior knowledge of what was being asked, yet all had one answer in common.

“This video shows a diverse team focused on a purpose that aligns with the station and uses our First Coast News family to explain what On Your Side should be,” said First Coast News On Your Side President and General Manager Tim Thomas.

I invite you to watch what we are witnessing at WTLV NBC12 and WJXX ABC25 in Jacksonville, Fla. It is powerful. And it will awaken you to the paradigm shift of doing right by our community, doing right by our teammates, doing right by our brand. It starts deep within, living, breathing, being On Your Side.
