What & Why: New
media skills have gone from being something only "Web people"
had to have, to something that every journalist needs. "Convergence"
is no longer a vague notion -- it has arrived in leading newsrooms. Over
the course of 3 days, Sreenath Sreenivasan & Mark Milstein will lead
a series of hands-on sessions and group discussions to master technique
and theory in a fast-changing business. Attendees acquire such skills
as writing for the Web, using Photoshop and Web production software, using
digital cameras and learning to think across platforms. Each student will
make his or her own basic home page.
