After having worked closely with journalists and editors in newsrooms large and small in many parts of the world, I have a pretty clear sense of the training needs and am keen to match them to extremely practical workshop experiences.
But, I really need your help to confirm this. Will you please help me out with some data?
I am starting week two of my three-month training tour and thought I would share what the Toronto Star’sRoger Gillespie and learned about the Toronto Camp VJ Workshop .
It is simply this, it is you guys who spread the word and make the success.
I am packing up for a five week trip where I will be teaching and producing journalism projects in India and Egypt. I hope to be able soon to share some video, photos and reports from the sold out Newspaper Design and Redesign workshop hosted by IFRA in Hyderabad, India.
I have learned that VizEds blogger TK Sajeev (Front Page Editor for the Malayalam-language daily in Kerala Kaumudi) will be attending the seminar as well as designers and editors from newspapers in Sri Lanka and Singapore. I have never met TK Sajeev in person though he has been blogging for Visual Editors for many years. It has been great to see what participating in the Visual Editors community has done for his work and his career.
I put a lot of time into my preparation for the classroom and I try to make the sessions inclusive and love to draw the expertise already present in the room. We will have fun and make some great progress in the seminar.
