Web 2.0 Workshops
The KDMC at UC Berkeley's Web 2.0 Training for Journalists provides participants with hands-on, newsroom-focused training on innovative publishing tools and technologies.
This training takes participants through the progression of reporting news for multiple digital platforms, starting with quick text posts and moving through photos and video and finally ending with a full multimedia presentation. The workshop provides hands-on training using Twitter and Facebook for reporting and driving web traffic, creating data-driven map mashups, dynamically updating a blog for breaking news, publishing photo galleries and audio slideshows, producing videos and editing videos using Final Cut Pro. Participants will leave with new tools for reporting and with new insights on how to serve new and emerging audiences. During five days of intense, hands-on instruction, the participants will:
- Blog breaking news using Twitter
- Post photos in interactive news maps
- Produce and publish photo galleries and audio slideshows
- Create and edit videos with Final Cut Pro
- Incorporate user-generated content in breaking news stories
- Use Facebook and publication widgets for news distribution
- Learn how to optimize breaking news rankings in Google
The KDMC is revising its programming. Please check back for more information on upcoming workshops. Custom training for organizations interested in applying multimedia to their communications programs is now available. Contact us directly at (510) 642-3892.
