Deborah,

Just wanted to alert you to a new series of posts on my blog featuring a professional audio designer’s free advice on treating your recording/listening environment. I think this advice can have particular relevance for people who record voice-overs or mix multiple audio tracks in multimedia projects — in other words, it’s not just limited to music.

Here’s the first in the series: http://bit.ly/93BB3y

Thanks!

Deborah, Love your site and all the good info. If I ever get hired to teach broadcast writing at one of the local universities would certainly require your book for class.
FYI, I recently did a blog for the Cincinnati Enquirer when I accompanied an official Cinci delegation to our sister city in China. It’s at http://www.cincinnati.com/quinlivaninchina.

Hi, Walter -

A couple suggestions:

To get in touch with other people interested in multimedia, consider joining Wired Journalists (http://mediageeks.ning.com/).

In terms of skill set – a lot depends on what you want to do. If you want to be a Web producer, some basic HTML, Photoshop or something similar and an understanding content management systems would be essential – if you know Flash, have video newsgathering/editing skills, etc. – so much the better!

Since you’re close to Atlanta – one thing I would suggest is that you try to attend the national SPJ Convention there – Sept. 4-7. There should be lots of mutlimedia discussion/training there – and its a good place to network.

Good luck!

I recently discovered your blog. I currently write for a small, weekly newspaper, as well as work part-time for a cluster of eight radio stations, both in a small city in Georgia (outside of Atlanta).

I would like to make the transition from print journalism to online/broadcast journalism. I would like to focus on medium and small markets in the South. What advice, if any, do you have for me?

Also, I would like to get in touch with other people working in electronic journalism. How should I build my contact list in that area? And what kinds of skill sets do I need to develop to increase my chances of getting the job I want? I look forward to reading any and all answers you give. Thank you.
