Some of the best TV reporters in the business, from KARE-TV’s Boyd Huppert to John Larson of Dateline NBC to even your instructor Al Tompkins, say this seminar was a turning point in their lives. Now it is your opportunity to have the Poynter Power Reporting experience.

This highly practical seminar is led by Tompkins and nationally acclaimed CBS photojournalist Les Rose, best known for his work with Steve Hartman on Everybody Has a Story.

APPLICATIONS FOR THIS SEMINAR ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED.

Whether you call them MMJ, VJs or one-man-bands, newsrooms worldwide and in every medium are demanding that journalists have multimedia skills to tell the story on every platform.

You will shoot three to four assignments in five days even if you have never shot with a video camera or edited a frame of video before.

Let Poynter help you master the basics of audio, video and multimedia tools, along with social media tools.

We’ll not only teach you how to use journalism’s new tools, we’ll also help you improve your storytelling and give you confidence to navigate the ethical pressure points presented by today’s emerging platforms.

You will leave with the know-how and confidence to grow in a new media world. Most importantly, you’ll change the way you think about storytelling and the future of journalism in our communities.

Guest faculty include Keith Jenkins, the Supervising Senior Producer for Multimedia at NPR, and Darren Durlach, Senior Multimedia Producer for The Boston Globe.
