About the Seminar

The Knight Digital Media Center Multimedia Training Program accepted 20 fellowships for journalists to attend this expenses-paid seminar that combined practical instruction in multimedia reporting with in-depth exploration of issues in online publishing.

Participants received six days of intense hands-on instruction on how to do multimedia stories for the Web, including:

• Using digital video cameras, photo cameras and audio recorders;
• Doing storyboards, stand-ups, voiceovers and other broadcast techniques;
• Digital video, audio and photo editing;
• Creating photo slide shows in Flash;
• Web page creation and multimedia Web site design.

Fellows created a multimedia project as part of the seminar. In addition, there were evening and noontime presentations by online publishing experts on the most pressing issues in digital media.
