I am leading a delegation of foreign journalists to visit press and media houses in Washington and Philadelphia.
This new film documentary was reported and filmed on location in Alexandria, Egypt by print journalists learning video journalism techniques.
I was able to make this film with great contributions from a translator and a top film assistant.

I have been invited to speak about non-narrative journalism techniques at the 16th World Editors Forum to be held next March in Hyderabad, India.
This will be my fifth consecutive WAN/WEF event and my second as a presenter. I will also be directing a team of video journalists to produce daily reports just like I have done for the Editors Forum in 2006 in Moscow, in 2007 in Cape Town and in 2008 in Sweden. More details on that will come, but I am delighted to again be sharing the stage with a couple of world-class visual journalists. Alberto gave a great graphics presentation at a Paris event I attended in June and Joerdis presented on adventure mobile journalism and advanced graphics at SND Las Vegas.
