It’s been a long semester. Seventeen hours, multiple projects, Flagpole deadlines…stressful but educational.
Here’s a few updates as to where I’m at right now: December 3, 2009.
Thanks to Grady College Knight Chair Pat Thomas, I’ve been cordially invited to attend the Dart Center’s workshop for covering Iraq war veterans next month at Emory University. This is a big deal – only three Grady students are attending, and seat competition for working journalists is stiff. The Dart Center is a trauma education/therapy program for journalists reporting on everything from disasters to murder to abuse. It’s heavy stuff and I’m excited to attend.
The documentary I’ve been shooting in Gainseville is still chugging along. Unfortunately, the camera I’ve been using is due back in a week and half, but I’ve planned out enough shoots between now and then that I should be able to shape up a product in the next month or two. I’ll keep posting.
I published 5 stories in the Flagpole this fall, and I’ve updated the Clips page to include all those stories.
As part of a rich media group project, I shot and edited a video on the Street Masters Car Club – on a tight deadline – and I’ve added that to the Multimedia page.
I’ve prepared some new audio slideshows as well: one on our favorite hair salon, Honey’s, and an upcoming one on a Flagpole story I wrote.
Hopefully, now that school is winding down and my head isn’t squished between the pages of a communications law text, I’ll have time for regular posts.
