  • Getting Started with News Apps and Data Visualization (N432-13)

    Seminar

    10/07

    Building a great, useful news app takes an intimidating number of skills, as you work with data, tools and design. This seminar will demystify the process and help those interested in getting started understand how to: find a story inside the data, use tools to create useful interactives, and understand design principles that help maps and numbers make sense.

    Journalists will learn how to find stories — and tell stories — hiding inside a data dump. You’ll get hands-on experience with basic tools for news apps that take some good thinking, don’t take serious programming skills.

  • Multimedia for Breaking News and Projects (B401-13)

    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.
