Hello! I’m Matt Busse, a journalist and Web guy living in Lynchburg, Virginia. Welcome to my personal Web site.
On paper, my title is “multimedia editor” for Media General. But on any given day, I could be:
- reporting a story;
- editing breaking news for newsadvance.com, godanriver.com and other sites;
- shooting video for our sister TV station, WSLS, or our websites;
- connecting with readers on The News & Advance’s Facebook and Twitter pages;
- working with our award-winning photographers on slideshow and video projects;
- training reporters;
- helping plan the next day’s newspaper;
and much more.
I’m a news addict who listens to police scanners in the morning and NPR in the evenings. Despite its uncertain future, journalism is an exciting business in which to work, and the opportunities to learn new things every day keep me coming back.
I also enjoy Web design, copywriting/editing and search engine optimization. If you’d like to work together on a project, please contact me.
