    This workshop was extremely valuable. I learned so much and also had the opportunity to brush up on some skills I'd learned previously but had mostly forgotten. I think the Final Cut Pro and data training will be most valuable to me in the future. I also took away a lot of insight on where the news industry is going with multimedia, which I plan to share with my organization.
