Talking Amongst Ourselves

To facilitate private communications among our Guild leaders and staffers, I set up a private Google group called "Baltimore Sun News Workers." To join, click "contact the owner," shoot me an email, and I'll approve you (as long as you're a Sun news employee or Guild official.)

Through this group, you can keep in touch with your colleagues, even if they leave The Sun. Everyone's email addresses will be contained within the private group. This will be a handy feature for us in the future. But more immediately, it will allow us to collaborate in a private setting, which the two blogs -- and an email list -- don't really allow us to do.

Anyone can start a discussion topic, post information and even upload files. And as new information gets posted to the group, you can configure your participation to receive email notifications of updates. I hope Lynn, Tanika and a few others will help act as administrators.

Rona -- can you (or someone with admin privileges for this site) please post a link to the group on this blog? I'll do the same on the other jobs site. Thanks!
