Tech for Web Reporting Kristen Landreville

Multimedia Storytelling The Standard and Dominant Medium: Text Multimedia Options: – Photography – Audio – Slideshows – Video – Interactive Stories and Graphics But…strong storytelling is still king

First, A Few Questions 1.Does your newspaper have a CMS? 2.To what extent does your newspaper have an online multimedia presence? – Website? – Blogs? – Audio/video stories? – Interactive stories or graphics, such as Flash projects? – Soundslides slideshows? 3.What would you like to change about your newspaper’s online presence? 4.What is the likelihood that changes will occur?

Why is an online presence important? Local newspapers (online and off) are top sources for news. Local newspapers 31% of adults get news and information about local businesses and restaurants from newspapers (online and off) 31% of adults

New Considerations 1.What medium is best to relay the story? Can I report the story best with text, photos, audio, or video? 2.Can I add new information (e.g., snippets of sound, video, photos, graphics) with different media? Or am I duplicating information? 3.Do I have permission to gather information in more than one way? Ask your sources! 4.Can I efficiently and effectively collect information in more than one way? Ask for help if needed! 5.If I collect more information than my editor needs, can I post some to my blog or on the Web site?

Photoshop: Basic Editing Hands-On Acceptable Editing Techniques (Usually) Cropping Adjusting Brightness/Contrast Adjusting Color Levels Adjusting Levels Black & White Sharing & Promoting Photos  Next 1 p.m.

Audio Benefits of audio Examples Best buy: Audio recorders in $100 range – I use: TASCAM DR 07TASCAM DR 07 Practice with your recorder with simple exercises: – Record ambient noise – Record your own voice at different levels

The Art & Science of Gathering Audio Know your equipment Location No ambient noise during interview Always record ambient noise for editing purposes Get close Use headphones Speak up Don’t fidget Focus, but also engage

The Art & Science of Gathering Audio No uh-huhs or comments Don’t interrupt subjects unless necessary Request subject to reference the question in their answer Allow pauses and silence to occur between questions Ask explanation-needed questions Ask again Ask sensory questions Last question
