Aprendam e partilhem | Learn and share

Estamos numa época de pioneiros, não é a primeira vez que digo isto. E como em qualquer época destas, as descobertas vão sendo feitas ao longo do caminho que se vai desbravando, para que os outros que se seguirão tenham a cartografia feita, as dificuldades assinaladas, o benefício da experiência alheia. Para isso é preciso que haja gente que seja simultaneamente aluno e professor. O Novo Jornalismo está a ser definido aos poucos por pessoas que arriscam, tentam e falham, até terem sucesso. O News Videographer tem um post dedicado a alguns destes heróis das redacções, que estão a tentar partilhar os seus conhecimentos que vão adquirindo no dia a dia com os seus colegas ou com quem quiser ouvir. Se conhecerem mais links ou recursos onde qualquer um pode aprender mais sobre jornalismo multimédia, façam o favor de partilhar. Todos nós que queremos saber mais e divulgar o que se sabe agradecemos.

This is a time for pioneers, it’s not the first time i say this. And as in any time like this, discoveries are being made along the trail, so that others that follow have the cartography made, hardships signalized, and the benefit of someone else’s experience. For that to happen, we need people that can be both the student and the teacher. New Journalism is being defined bit by bit by people who take risks, try and fail, until they succeed. The News Videographer has a post dedicated to some of these “newsroom heros”, that are trying to share all of their acquired knowledge with their colleagues or whoever might be interested. If you have any links or resources where anyone can learn a bit more about multimedia journalism, please, do share. All of us that want to know more and share the knowledge thank you in advance.

Another self-starter helping others

I’ve written before about newsroom heros that take it upon themselves to learn video, and then decide they’re going to help others in their newsroom get up to speed too. Lisa Fernandez organized a training brownbag. Ron Sylvester created “DIY training.”

Now, along those same lines, Stephen of the Anchorage Daily News has created a crash course video handout for the reporters and photographers in his newsroom who are starting to learn video.

Here’s a PDF of the handout from his site, Beyond Alaska Photo.

Does anyone else have stories to share about how you are helping others in your newsroom learn video?
