Video journalism training - lessons learned from Robb montgomery

Documentary report from the Camp Video Journalism training week held at the Chicago Sun-Times May 5-9, 2008.

This is a film I have been editing since last Saturday. It took longer to get up because I had so much local travel to Michigan State University where I delivered a three-day Web video seminar to the journalism school faculty and along the way came down with a debilitating head cold. I stole a few hours this morning to put the wraps on this comprehensive piece on the Camp VJ experience.

What is “CAMP VJ?”
Camp Video Journalism upgrades a reporter’s skills to meet the demands of the networked journalism era. Camp VJ Chicago students included a Pultizer-Prize winning photographer, newspaper reporters, broadcast professionals and the director of a major U.S. Journalism school.

The game has changed media makers and journalists need focused and practical video training that can make a dramatic difference, right away.
