\"\"<\/a>When I graduated from Penn State and came to work at the YDR as a night copy editor almost three years ago, Facebook was more for connecting with your friends than connecting with your community and Twitter was just beginning to take off.<\/p>\n

About 8 months ago, I got a crash course in everything York County when I left the night\/digital desk and joined the YDR’s hyperlocal news team — these are the people who write for, edit and design the Weekly Record, among many, many other things. And about a month ago, I took over the YDR’s Neighbors page, which is made up entirely of reader generated and super-local content.<\/p>\n

Now, using Twitter and Facebook to engage with the community on a regular basis is part of my job.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned a lot about social media, York County and how the two intersect within the past 8 months.<\/p>\n

Social media helps the YDR get news to you and answer your questions faster than ever before. It also lets us have a conversation with you more easily.<\/p>\n

And that’s exactly what we want to do with the YDR’s new “York pipeline news<\/a>” Facebook page. It was created earlier this week to get members of our community to talk about how proposed natural gas pipelines in York County will affect them.<\/p>\n

Here’s they original email I sent out to our newsroom notifying everyone about “York pipeline news”:<\/p>\n

Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, we launched the “York pipeline news” Facebook page. The page is for news and conversation on anything and everything that has to do with the proposed — and existing — natural gas pipelines in York County.<\/p>\n

It’s a pilot program of sorts to see how we can engage the community on an issue that could affect many people in out area in a big way. It’s the first almost completely hyperlocal Facebook page for the YDR. If the page does well, we might make other pages for other issues in the future.<\/p>\n

Please “like” the page — www.facebook.com\/YorkPipeline<\/a> — and join in the conversation.<\/p>\n

Thank You,<\/p>\n

Brittany Wilson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The page will serve as a hub for all things pipeline. From news to commentary to resources, I want you to be able to find everything you want to know on the page. And if something isn’t there that you would like to know about, just post a question, and someone will do their best to get you the information you want.<\/p>\n

And my email doesn’t apply only to people who work in the newsroom. I hope you’ll join the conversation, too. Let me know what you think, I’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
