"The Ninth Floor"

MediaStorm has posted an audio slide show by Jessica Dimmock looking at the lives of heroin addicts who used to live in a ninth floor apartment in New York City. Access is what this is all about – Dimmock has manages to make her subjects so comfortable with her presence that she is there for everything. (And, I will warn...

"First Year Out"

Mindy McAdams, Flash Goddess, posted about a New York Times piece on a man released from prison after serving 16 years for a crime he didn’t commit. It breaks a lot of rules we believe to be true about audio slideshows, but works really well.

Passed Along …

While heading to lunch, one of my colleagues, Dr. Hugh Martin, said one of our shared students came in to class on Monday a little frazzled. Seems she’d spent most of the weekend working on an audio editing project and said, “I now know what an ‘um’ looks like …“

"Ian's Peace"

The Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer has posted a video package on Ian Creath, a 19-year-old who died at a local quarry. A team from the paper had been working on a project at the quarry when they met Creath a month before he died. The piece is narrated by his mother and is very well shot and edited.

Curiosity Befits the Journalist

This is the type of story I love: A journalist sees something that makes them ponder and then they search out an answer. In this audio slide show on the New York Times’ web site, J. Adam Huggins explored where New York City manhole covers come from. Nicely executed. And the Times did a follow up after safety concerns were...

"A New Dawn"

David Stephenson’s two year coverage of a woman going through drug court is up on the Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader’s web site. Broken into several chapters, it follows her through the courts and treatment programs and ends up … close to where she started.

BBQ & Multimedia …

… does it get better than that? Mark Dolan, a former faculty member at my old school, has been on the road for two years now telling the story of barbecue in America through his BBQ Pilgrim web site. The collection of audio slideshows is developing into a nice catalog of work. Worth checking out, but you’ll be hungry when...

Motion Graphics Talk – Wednesday Night

From David Hazinski in Broadcast, something to think about going to. Meaning, GO!! Motion graphics workshop Wednesday night in the photo lab, room 130. Unless we get too many people, then we’ll probably move to the newsroom. My classes had asked for ‘more’ on motion graphics, so I set this up… then invited Mark Wright. Mark has been the chief...

The Mundane Becomes Cool

One of the things I love about newspapers moving into new storytelling modes is the ability to make a seemingly mundane thing more interesting. Had I ever told my staff to go to a football game and cover the chain gang – the volunteers who move the first down markers around – they would have had a fit. But the...
