By now, some (hopefully many) of you may have heard: we launched @LookoutSCruz yesterday! An incredible effort by a mission-driven team. Can& #39;t wait to get the community& #39;s feedback on our modern digital news experience built for all of Santa Cruz county. https://lookout.co/santacruz/ ">https://lookout.co/santacruz...
I& #39;d never been on the ground floor of designing & launching a media company, until now. And it ain& #39;t easy! But hugely rewarding. There isn& #39;t enough room in all the Twitterverse for appropriate thank-you& #39;s, but here are some vital ones...
We& #39;re extremely fortunate that @LookoutSCruz is built on a product & tech stack backed by world-class partners: first, @latimes & Graphene, who brought our vision to life through remarkable project management and product leadership. Thank you @bgerst @roycemartin & team!
Pivotal strategic & product contributions have been made by terrific partners: @BlueLenaLLC @tryPico @jasonwbade @osder @danoshinsky @jacqueboltik @parsely (and more coming soon, like @secondstreet). We simply wouldn& #39;t be at this milestone without their tireless, terrific work.
The deeply-reported original content that our team produces will be augmented by leading work from Lookout& #39;s content partners: @latimes @CalMatters @KHNews @opencampusmedia @insideclimate @CivilEats
Before the product was ever built and taken to market, entensive design strategy and testing was led by our partner @CharmingRobot. Thank you @danmaccarone @therealebowie @NathanMorey & team!
We& #39;re supported at launch by great local Marketing Partners, who enable open access for all readers & bring their unique stories to the site.
