As we’ve traveled around the country and collaborated with many schools and newsrooms, it has become apparent that there is a strong desire and need for a forum focusing on the overall methodology behind creating and implementing a successful multimedia strategy. We have been working with educators and newsroom leaders to create a Workshop targeted specifically at educators looking to create curricula based on our approach, for organizational leaders tasked with creating and leading multimedia departments, and for professionals looking to start their own media company or integrate MediaStorm concepts into their organization.

We will be holding the first MediaStorm Methodology Workshop July 27-31, 2009, at our offices in Brooklyn, NY.

Over this five-day course, attendees will participate in a collaborative, fast-paced, hands-on overview of what it takes to produce successful multimedia projects.

They will work closely with MediaStorm producers and interactive designers to learn the essential elements of multimedia post-production, project organization and storytelling concepts.

There will be intensive business-oriented discussions as well, critiquing aspects of developing business models that support multimedia and interactive storytelling. Attendees will leave the workshop with an understanding of all the areas they need to create a comprehensive multimedia plan and to educate others on the approach.

If you are interested in attending the Workshop, please see the site for more information and application instructions. There is no deadline, but we only have three slots left for the July Workshop, so don’t delay if you’re interested. If you have any questions, please contact workshops@mediastorm.org.
