Longtime newspaper writer/editor Joel Welin is online and socialized. Find me at www.outsource.com, Twitter @emporian, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and others.

I entered the metropolitan newspaper world out of college and traveled the United States, beginning in Colorado Springs and ending in Louisville, Ky., first as a copyeditor, then a news reporter, finally as an entertainment and features writer and editor.

Along the way I became a photographer, a blogger, a videographer, a Tweeter and a TV presenter, and I managed a global network of websites featuring unique content. I learned SEO and SMO out of necessity, and founded my own company out of desire, where our roster of correspondents features content with voice and authority across a variety of platforms.

If you need unique articles that have been researched and fact-checked in the time-honored manner, editing with an eye to readability as well as the author's voice, social media inspiration, instruction and marketing campaigns, or consultations and critiques aimed at polishing your product, contact [email protected].
