Consider adding these two days of training after Teachapalooza. Canon will provide state-of-the-art video and DSLR cameras that you can use or you can bring your own camera gear. We will use Adobe Premiere video editing software.

We will be short on lecture and long on actual hands-on work.

Do you struggle with the best way to cover breaking news in multiple formats, or enhance your major projects? As newsrooms have changed and evolved the last few years, the emphasis on multimedia has been lost at the very time when audience demand for audio, video, maps and animation has never been higher. If you’re ready to retool your newsroom and dive in to covering spot news and augmenting projects with multimedia, we can help.

Resources are scarce, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create great multimedia elements that inform, delight and engage your audience.
