New media and video journalism
After having worked closely with journalists and editors in newsrooms large and small in many parts of the world, I have a pretty clear sense of the training needs and am keen to match them to extremely practical workshop experiences.
But, I really need your help to confirm this. Will you please help me out with some data?

Robb’s presentation was very helpful, especially for a small staff with limited resources. I look forward to him returning next year to see where we have taken his guidance and to see where we need to be going from there.
Thanks again!

Just a note to thank the PNA Foundation for the opportunity to have Robb Montgomery visit our newspaper yesterday.
Our staff was very impressed with his presentation. They felt that he showed what is happening in newsrooms around the world as well as what is possible for a staff our size.
They felt his message was inspirational and that was one of the reasons I wanted him to be in Pottsville. After seeing Robb present at America East I felt that he could energize our staff and help with our corporate culture as it pertains to interactive media.
Mission accomplished! Robb was very easy to work with, professional and took the time for a Q&A session.

The Victoria Advocate's Harry Potter themed newspaper.
He writes that his newspaper, the Victoria Advocate, had “a lot of success with the Victoria Prophet single pages we did in 2007. This year we went bigger and better with an entire section. We turned our weekly entertainment section into the Victoria Prophet with local feature stories, Advertising, Games, and we even have ads for the busniesses in the world of Harry Potter.”
In a time of contraction for some U.S. newsrooms it is heartening to see a paper take an idea like this and run with it and really, really do it right.
