The Cross-Media Journalism program offers storytelling strategies and technical training for seasoned professionals who are using multimedia platforms to deliver the news. The week-long program provides the framework for journalistic narrative in print, broadcast and the Internet across the "Fault Lines" of race, class, gender, generation and geography. The program teaches the technical skills necessary to produce multimedia coverage. Participants are taught to layout the front page of a newspaper, produce a five-minute broadcast and build a Web site.
Faculty and guest speakers provide insider views of the cross-media landscape including teamwork, management challenges, technology advances, and Web research techniques.
The inaugural Cross-Media Journalism training was held at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in July 2000. The University of Southern California Annenberg School of Journalism hosted the second training in March 2001.
The training fee is $1500. Projected lodging costs are up to $900. Visit our website www.maynardije.org for more information or email: programs@maynardije.org to request an application.
