Input needed: What WordPress plugins would help your workflow?

Do you use WordPress at your news organization? Then I need your input.

As an RJI Fellow at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, I am developing a suite of WordPress plugins — Storytelling Tools — designed for journalists like you to make some of your daily workflow tasks flow along smoother and faster. These tasks could include finding images, fact-checking and creating immersive galleries. As both a public radio producer and Web developer, I've seen how a little programming can automate certain chores. But first, I'd like to get your thoughts on what plugins would be most helpful to you. I've created a survey that should only take a few minutes of your time to complete. The more input I receive, the more help I'll be able to provide journalists.

The Storytelling Tools survey includes questions such as:

• What is your digital workflow within WordPress?
• What WordPress tools would help with you work?

Please share this survey link with others in the industry who use a WordPress site:

Update: Survey now closed. Results out soon.

Thank you for your help.
