  1. Feb. 28 - JRNL 10 Prof. Vaccaro Hofstra University

  2. Information Management • You did the research, now where does it go? • Content Management System (Patch/Word Press) • Google Organization (Next Slide) • Audio and video storage • Picture storage (Flickr) • Old school notebooks and pads

  3. Content Management System • One story has many elements • One story has one view for the editor • The audience can not see the inner workings of your digital machine • You must always think about all elements • Headline, dek • Story • Photos, video, audio • Tagging, related content, hyper links

  4. Google Management • Google Doc (Spread sheets and templates) • Google Calendar • Google Voice … 518-250-9539 • Google Maps • Google Labs (fun toys for your Gmail) • Photo organization • Google Search Engine • All through your Gmail account

  5. Digital Photography • Digital allows as many photos as your memory card can handle, often hundreds • Ability to analyze photos immediately • Smartphones and laptops allow for immediate uploads • Camera types • Point and shoot • Digital SLR: Single Lens Reflex

  6. Digital Photo Basics • Read the manual and understand the machine you’re working with • Repetition is key to improvement • Hold the camera steady and with proper form • Get close to the action, don’t be afraid to get what you need, when you need it • Think about your audience and how they will react to your photos

  7. More on Digital Photos • Think about the big shot, the front page • Think about photo galleries, images for video or shots that can be used in the future • Don’t forget your deadline and shipping photos to your editor as fast as possible • Ethics: Do not misrepresent a photo, add a dimension or delete anything (cropping is fine for the most part)… unethical journalism is very common with digital photography and unacceptable • Record ALL necessary info for captions

  8. More on Digital Photos • What works? Composition, emotion, light and outside-the-box • Go where the other photographers aren’t • Don’t forget all equipment: tri-pod, batteries, extra memory cards, etc. • Act natural and move around • Be aware of the background • Keep the light behind you • Editing: iPhoto, Photoshop, basic cropping and lighting all work

  9. Photo Examples • NY Times Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/ • Patch.com - let’s scroll a few sites • Newsday.com - let’s scroll their site • ESPN.com - let’s look at just sports
