Essential Skills for the Digital Journalist (W434-12)

Sep 10, 2012 - Sep 14, 2012
Apply By: 
Aug 17, 2012

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.

You can find a DRAFT copy of the schedule here.

If you’re interested in staying for Saturday’s Writing Day with Roy Peter Clark, Tom French, Tom Huang, Alexandra Zayas and Chip Scanlan, you’ll receive a 50% discount for that workshop.

You’ll learn:

  • Key multimedia skills, including audio and video
  • Best practices in using blogs, Twitter and Facebook to your advantage
  • Tools for recognizing and negotiating the ethical issues specific to multimedia and social media
  • What it takes to survive and thrive in a constantly changing landscape
  • Why you need to build your brand as a journalist — and how to do it inside and outside your news organization
  • The skills and knowledge you need to chart your own career path
Who Will Benefit:
Journalists and content providers at every experience level who want to ensure they have the skills to thrive during the digital and economic transition
Price: $1,175.00
