NABJ Media Institute hosts Soundslides Multimedia Training Workshop
SAN FRANCISCO — The converged newsroom requires journalists to gather information in multiple formats–print photographers collect audio, radio reporters take photographs and television reporters shoot video. To meet those demands, the National Association of Black Journalist (NABJ) Media Institute invites journalists to attend the Soundslides Multimedia Training Workshop on Saturday, April 5, 2008 at San Francisco State University.
Journalists will learn how to create audio slideshows for the Web with Soundslides, the leading multimedia program that merges still photos and audio. Participants will also learn how to give still photos movement and make transitions, process photos using Adobe Photoshop and edit audio with Soundtrack Pro.
“There is an insistent need to develop journalists who not only appreciate the importance of multimedia and converging technologies, but also understand how to apply it to their coverage,” said NABJ President Barbara Ciara. “NABJ is determined to make this training available as the demand for this skill set becomes more of a requirement in today’s newsrooms.”
The cost for the workshop is $35 for NABJ members and $50 for non-members. The class is limited to the first 25 paid registrants. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Registration is only available online at MyNABJ.org until March 31, 2008. Non-members must establish an account on MyNABJ.org to enroll in this workshop.
The workshop is sponsored by Bay Area Black Journalists Association, Media News and Comcast.
The NABJ Media Institute seeks to provide professional development, technical training, historical documentation and entrepreneurial guidance for black journalists and students, relating to the media industry.
An advocacy group established in 1975 in Washington, D.C., NABJ is the largest organization of journalists of color in the nation, with more than 4,100 members, and provides educational, career development and support to black journalists worldwide.
