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.

Hayam, a photographer for the Middle East News Agency talks about the impact of multimedia training for Egyptian journalists.
In the first week we have made a half dozen interviews with journalists that MDP has trained and we filmed on locations all around Cairo. We have visited the offices of the news training centers for journalists the program has established at MENA, Al Ahram Al Akbar, Cairo University and other news organizations. We have done interviews in the streets and at sunrise this morning we filmed some new footage from the Pyramids. We were buzzed by huge military aircraft flying at low altitude. Have to wait for the film to be ingested to see how it came out but here re a few snaps from my trusty LX-2 which has joined me on my adventures the last four years.
