Digital Storytelling Workshops

The Digital Storytelling Workshop offers intensive training that covers all aspects of multimedia news production from basic storyboarding to hands-on instruction with hardware and software for production of multimedia stories. Participants will work on structured training assignments to learn skills for multi-element stories and then apply new skills to a story for his or her publication.

Participants are taught skills they need to produce quality multimedia stories including:

  • Video and audio recording and editing in Final Cut X

  • Voice coaching for narration or stand-ups and reporter debriefs
  • HTML basics
  • Creating interactive charts, graphs and maps to visualize data
