Workshop aftermath

To those who attended today's NINA workshop on alternative story forms: What was the biggest idea you went home with? What's the biggest question you're left with? Any other thoughts worth discussing?

For me, it was the overall idea of segmenting: looking at how every story can be broken apart into its various elements, and then choosing the best form to present each element in print, online or both. And, it's the idea that the critical moment for all of that to happen is that initial reporter-editor conversation before any writing has taken place.

Thanks to Cory Powell of the Minneapolis Star Tribune for doing a wonderful job leading the discussion. And thanks to everyone who attended. We had a full house.
