One of the students, Noha Atef- Cairo, attending my multimedia journalism workshop at the Press Syndicate in Cairo made this slideshow after the training event.
Many mono media journalists and journalism educators are asking to be retrained to adapt to the networked journalism era. I design and deliver training for my clients and also for the Visual Editors non-profit. When I train journalists in multimedia, it often tends to be multi-platform as well because of tools and techniques I use to teach with.
Please help me out and take this poll and I’ll publish the results when I am back from my European tour. I love the variety of teaching multi-platform skills and I consider myself very lucky to be able to teach this material to colleagues and educators.
Camp Video Journalism - Orlando focused on training the next generation of educators. We had several K-12 teachers as well as college students taking the course and while I could certainly write more about MY impressions from the sessions, I think it might be more beneficial to relay the feedback I just got from Camp VJ student and Kalamazoo, Michigan educator Anthony Gettig.
Thank you so much for CampVJ Orlando! Lance, Kristen, and I really enjoyed our time in this beautiful city and learned so much during our stay.
Ken, your hospitality was very generous. Thank you for being such a gracious host. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you a bit and share some great stories. Thanks too for the encouragement about my coffee video podcast. Valencia is blessed to have a great professor like you there.
Leading a video editing class at KircherBurkardt in Berlin, Germany.
A quick update about the three-day video class I will be producing for Camp Video Journalism in Berlin, Germany next month. If you are thinking of attending this video editing workshop in Europe, please register soon. The response for this event has been strong and past video training workshops have sold out.
The event will take place at the world-class KircherBurkhardt publishing house in central Berlin and I will be joined by German video journalist Kristin Jankowsi who produces news films for Der Tagesspiegel.
Robb will spend one week in Cairo training Egyptian editors and educators about newspaper design, graphics, redesign projects and training initiatives.
