The New Media Journalist
Tell your story with podcasting, video, Flash, and photos
Course DetailsToday's journalists work in a multimedia world. The web and the growth in broadband has taken journalism far beyond the printed word, and many media outlets today provide users with audio, video, Flash, and photography, either as standalone work or to accompany written stories. The fact is, many editors will find a pitch immensely more appealing if you can provide not only a written article, but well-produced photographs, audio, and video as well. This seminar will take a look at the options that are available to the multimedia journalist. You will learn how to plan and produce work that integrates written copy, audio, video and photographs into an appealing package. You will also learn about new types of content like podcasting, and be exposed to media technologies like Flash that can help take your work to a new level. In this 3-hour seminar, you can expect to learn:
