New media and video journalism
Thanks for an inspiring presentation today in Kolding, Denmark - the surge of online video is upon us - the web as live pictures - I love it. Appreciate long list of links to all kinds of different ways of doing online video and will study it assiduously.

Just wanted to send a quick note. Really enjoyed your presentation in Harrisburg on Web video for newspapers. We’re just getting ready to take our first baby steps into the world of Web video, and your talk was really useful.
Some of the techy talk was over my head, but I still got plenty out of it.

He does a tremendous job
Robb does a great job of talking to and working with college students. He is at the forefront of his craft in both newspaper design and online news. His multi-media presentations are educational, entertaining and informative. He has no trouble keeping students’ attention, and he usually wow’s them with his work. I’d highly recommend Robb to be a keynote speaker or to lead a session on just about anything at a conference. He does a tremendous job.

A very broad insight, knowledge and perspective on the media
Presenting with Robb at IFRA workshop in Kuala Lumpur was a pure pleasure. Although I came there as a presenter (of my newspapers’ success) I learned a lot from Robb’s presentations. I was fascinated by the wideness of his expertise and a very broad insight, knowledge and perspective on the media he has demonstrated. Robb knows what the media in the future need . . .

Makes the daunting tasks of facing the future a bit brighter.
I have had the pleasure of working with Robb for several decades and have watched him grow into one of the most knowledgeable, articulate and talented thinkers about newspapers in our business. Robb has had a wonderful and extensive background in award winning design and editing.
He has spent much time with editors helping them make the most of the present and help them see the potential future of their newsroom. His keen insight into the reporting tools of the future have made him a wonderful asset to newsrooms as they prepare their staffs for that inevitable transition.
With his capable teaching and his enthusiastic presentations he makes the daunting tasks of facing the future a bit brighter.

Many roles in working with the World Editors Forum
I invited Robb in 2005 to the 12th World Editors Forum in Seoul to speak about design issues. He was also so involved in new media issues that I decided to work with him at different occasions: as a producer, as a trainer, as an adviser … For the World Editors Forum and for some of our partners.
Robb is very curious and understands very quickly what you expect. His solutions are always original and efficient.
