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 Long Island region editor for Patch.com. A Cuban-American from Miami, Molinet brings journalistic values and credibility, along with a strong entrepreneurial vision, to his role as teacher, editor, manager and reporter.

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 learned from his own experience running a startup, Early Edition Media, Inc. 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.
