Interview_Stewart

Quick interview with Amy Stewart, the Faculty of Fine Arts Publicist, for her insights and opinion on the FA website from an insider perspective.

What are your thoughts on the current FA website?
 * I like it. It's great that the news and events are front page, and the placement of the navigation is effective and user friendly. Everything is very accessible.

Do you browse anything else outside of work, like the art galleries, student works, design website perhaps?
 * Not really but I do tend to look at faculty bios from time to time for work purposes.

Do you have an opinion on the twitter account?
 * I don't use it so I don't have much of an opinion but it seems to be a success, 222 followers in 2 months since its launch, so people are using it.

Other school websites such as risd have a blog for their news, would that be of interest to you as a publicist?
 * I like that our news appears on the york website and doesn't use external sources, everything is in one place. Risd seems very linear, you can't really navigate back and forth between pages.

What about video? Are you looking into video for the news and events at YorkU?
 * As a matter of fact we are. We're working on launching our own youtube channel and I just finished shooting our first video.
