KOCT mission, goal and purpose is to inform our north county
community about people, places and events in north county. It was easier to
do when television and traditional daily newspapers were the main source of
news and information. But oh how times have changed! Todays residents now
receive their entertainment and information from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
smart phones, I pads and the Internet, on a minute by minute information
tsunami!
Fortunately KOCT is not alone in our quest to inform north
county residents. KOCT is teaming up with other media professionals in
north county so it is easier to watch KOCT’s many programs.
Today, for example, Osidenews.com
added KOCT to its front page mast head to make it easy to see the latest KOCT News Brief. Steve Marcotte is the managing editor for this on-line
newspaper and he is already registering 30,000 views per month! Osidenews.com, in addition to up to the
minute news coverage, provides human interest stories, business, sports, health
and more.
I first heard about this new media resource when he added
former KOCT Board member, Tom
Morrow, as a regular columnist. Tom is well known throughout north
county and his column was greatly missed by many readers after the demise of
the North County Times. It is great to be in partnership again with old friend Tom
Morrow and with new friend, Steve Marcotte and the Osidenews.com!
(Steve will be one of our guests in our new season of
Journalist Roundtable on January 8th 2015-stay tuned)
