NINA continues its commitment to new-media training with our April 25 spring conference, “It's a Visual World.”
The event will offer help for publishers, editors, reporters and photographers in learning to think more visually to take advantage of video and photos with limited resources.
We'll look at ways newspapers are electrifying their storytelling with better use of pictures in print and a commitment to photos and videos on the web. And, to emphasize how each medium requires its own approach to visual journalism, we'll take three traditional print ideas and show how they could be done differently -- and more powerfully -- for print, Web and other casts.
The conversation will address not just the “how-to” questions, but also the “why” questions. We’ll look at philosophies for doing video and other multimedia on the Web. What’s working? What’s not working? What are reasonable expectations for small to midsize newspapers? What kind of time and training investments are necessary?
"This is relatively new territory for most small to mid-sized weekly and daily newspapers in northern Illinois," said NINA First Vice President Pete Nenni of the Daily Herald. "So, having someone of Curt's background and experience talk on this subject will provide some valuable insight."
Who should attend: Editors, publishers, reporters, photojournalists, online staffers.
Speaker: Curt Chandler is senior lecturer specializing in multimedia reporting at Pen
n State University. Before entering the academic world last summer, he was the editor for online innovation at the post-gazette.com in Pittsburgh. Curt has a degree in newspaper writing from Northwestern University and more than 25 years of newspaper experience as a visual journalist, manager and online editor. He also worked for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Ogden (Utah) Standard-Examiner and the Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftan. He has conducted multimedia training in newsroom and seminars for working journalists in addition to working in the classroom with students who aspire to be journalists. He has done seminars for the Poynter Institute, the Online News Association, the National Press Photographers Association and the Society for News Design.
