Robb Montgomery will present a workshop on mobile strategies at APME Newstrain Chicago on Friday March 26, 2010.
80 percent of the world’s population has available mobile phone coverage, and smartphone use is growing faster than any other kind of phone.
Do you have a long-term mobile strategy? Is your staff MoJo savvy? What are mobile users looking for?
This session will examine the rapidly-evolving mobile media landscape and generate a discussion of steps your newsroom can take to begin or enhance mobile gathering and distribution of content.
Sometimes the hardest pictures a newspaper journalist makes are the ones they take of themselves during hard times. San Jose Mercury News designer Martin Gee has posted a photo documentary of the effects of several rounds of layoffs and buyouts in his California newsroom. You can feel his heart breaking in captions as he recalls former colleagues and the spirit they brought to the newsroom.
Robb Montgomery produces new media workshops to train journalists and media professionals in more than 20 countries in writing for the Web, multimedia reporting, and Web video journalism.
His hands-on seminars include interactive learning techniques, live demonstrations and expertise in teaching new media concepts to professionals.
