Two Down, One to Go: Student Work Roundup

At the end of every semester, the deluge comes in: semester-long projects, last minute reshoots – they all flood in. They come on my class server, by CD and flash drive. In the last week alone, I have ingested 8 gigabytes worth of images, audio and video … the little iMac in my office was really looking forward to this...

Fisheye on CNN

CNN has apparently modified a Flip camera with a fisheye lens and is giving you – yes you! – a tour of their work space. Nice to see they’re using technology to save journalism … (Okay, that was pretty snarky, and it is kind of cool …) Embedded video from CNN Video

Rural Health Care in North Georgia

Over the last few months, the students in Documentary Photography have been working with students in Prof. Patricia Thomas’ Health and Medical Reporting class to look at health care issues in the rural counties around Athens.

On Audio Slide Shows …

I love audio slide shows. They are wonderful journalistic creations, able to mix the depth of still images with the power of a subject’s voice. I teach all my students how to do them – and they do them well. The wire services have started to push them out, as well, which is fantastic. There are so many stories that...

Gear Guides

We’re getting close to that time of the year, the time when many of my students will start fretting about graduating. And it’s not so much the Becoming a Real Person Dilemma as it is what do I need to buy? I say it often – we do a great thing here at UGA in providing gear to our students....

Super Twitter

Not intentional, but this post is much like the last – all about Twitter. The New York Times has an interactive … well, I don’t know what to call it … thing that looks at what was Twittered throughout the Super Bowl Sunday night. Click on the “People saying go” and let it play, paying attention to the timeline. Very...

The Story of Twitter (in More Than 140 Characters)

I am still not convinced that Twitter is something of value. I use it. A LOT. But I do wonder whether it’s just a play thing, a way to avoid time. And then some breaking news event happens and I know because I have a Twitter client running on my desktop (Spaz). One of the creators, Dom Sagolla, has now...
