A higher-up recently said that he thought of me as the "tech savior" of the organization. And while I'm sure he meant it as a compliment, it also conveyed another message: "I don't actually know what you do and I'm not interested as long as you fix my PC when it's broken." I don't work in a newsroom, but it's a similar setup: lots of people doing research and writing, and I get brought in if any IT/web stuff is needed. While I think I get along with everyone, there is a separation. More often than not, if someone pulls me into a project, it's because they've decided what they want to do already and just need my skills for execution. I've literally stalked the halls trying to overhear whispers of coming projects where I could contribute, because I know the odds of being approached early when I can make more creative contributions are pretty low.
