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.

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.

I am teaching a four day seminar on multimedia reporting to Web journalists for France 24. France 24 is A CNN-style 24/7 video and Web news organization designed for a French audience.
I was hired as a consultant to New York City-based Mignon-Media and have been working closely with Jeff Mignon for months in preparation to make this the best possible training event possible.
The studios are first-class, state-of-the art. Uber-impressive.
The editor-in-chief, Karine Broyer, gave me a tour while they were broadcasting and then she came to attend the class. I can tell you right now that impresses me the most. When the editor comes to class.
I have, without fail, witnessed over the years that when the editor goes to class with staff that the training takes hold.

What video camera do you use? How should we train reporters to use video? What’s the secret to video on the Web?
Good questions and I attempt to answer them here for my friend, Steve Garfield who has been commissioned to write a book about video journalism and asked me to contribute to a chapter about newspapers using Web video.
Steve’s questions to me are in bold and my answers follow.
1. Why are newspapers training their reporters and photographers to become video producers?
They have observed the sea change with the medium that YouTube ushered in and are catching up to the fact that web video is now a mainstream activity and an affordable form of online journalism. Quite simply that is where the audience is.
