The Knight Digital Media Center is excited to announce a new workshop that merges the best of their Multimedia Storytelling Workshop and their Web 2.0 Tools for Journalists training. The Digital Storytelling Workshop is packed with sessions on the latest skills needed to create content suited to every platform and channel.
The 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.

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