Jason Molinet, 37, has vast writing, editing and multimedia experience, most notably from an 11-year career as a reporter at Newsday, and currently as owner of an online publishing firm. A Cuban-American from Miami, Molinet brings journalistic values and credibility, along with a strong entrepreneurial vision, to Early Edition Media, Inc.

Early Edition Media, Inc. is an interactive media company with the focus of making local news and advertising an important component of the Internet. Right now, an estimated $5 billion is spent on local Internet-based advertising. That number is expected to jump to $25 billion over the next five years. EEM is dedicated to building content-rich Internet sites with Long Island flavor and a built-in following. They make an ideal platform for local advertisers.

Molinet brings a great deal of creativity, drive and a sense of entrepreneurship to any project. With a BA degree in History and a reporter’s curiosity, he dives into topics with a passion to get at their core. Molinet has a keen interest in business and have learned from my own experience running a startup. He follows current trends and cultural phenomenon. And like any journalist, Molinet absorbs current events with sponge-like dexterity.

Skills include:

• Developed and overseen several web sites over the last two years from HTML to graphic design and SEO, interacting with and developing a target community along the way. It begins with the back end CMS and extends all the way through the social networking ladder, from MySpace, YouTube, Ning, Digg, Facebook and Flickr to Twitter.

• Managed a large staff of freelance and staff writers, photographers and programmers to help launch and maintain robust media-based web sites such as Friar Sports.com (www.friarsports.com) , Fantasy Sports Update.com (www.fantasysportsupdate.com), Oneonta Sports.com (www.oneontasports.com) and LI Entrepreneurs.com (www.lientrepreneurs.com).

• In his previous life as a reporter at Newsday, Molinet was among the first reporters to blog, shoot video, podcast and appear in webcasts. He has also done TV and radio, along with filing daily stories on tight deadline. In fact, Molinet won an interactive award in 2007, his final year at the paper.
