A Southerner to the core, Samantha is Manager of Digital Storytelling Strategy at The Palm Beach Post responsible for growing reporters into digital strategists. She wants to ensure that they thrive in the ever-changing digital landscape, and she challenges them to use new storytelling platforms, to own their story distribution and to test engagement strategies with digital audiences.
