Dec. 13, 2008
Digging Deep for Reporters
with Amy Webb, principal consultant at Webbmedia Group, LLC.

Did you know that when you run a search on Google, you're only finding 1/600th of the information that's actually available? Do you know how to look through social networks such as FriendFeed and Facebook to do your reporting? What about Twitter? Did you know that Google will allow you to search for all kinds of hidden documents and other information found on company intranets --as long as you know how to mine for data? There are many ways that journalists can exploit the web to do better reporting. This is an entirely hands-on workshop with challenging exercises. Participants will each receive a folder with personalized handouts and other resources to use.

Pricing:
$125.00 for Columbia Journalism School alumni
$150.00 for ALL others

Registration deadline: Dec. 1

Multimedia Storytelling for Beginners

The Journalism School's Continuing Education unit held a series of workshops on using sound and images to create multimedia stories. Nineteen journalists, the majority of them alums, participated in these hands-on workshops on the last two Sundays in September.

The workshops, taught by New Media Coordinator Duy Linh Tu and photojournalist John Smock, integrated skills-based training within the context of high-quality journalism. After learning the best practices for multimedia storytelling, participants were sent out into the field to retrieve audio and photos. Participants were then taught how to edit that material.
