One More for Election Eve

What a long strange trip it's been -- the longest, costliest, and arguably wackiest presidential campaign in American history. And now, here we are. The New York Times puts it all in (balanced) perspective for you, in this three-part video retrospective that covers The Landscape, The Candidates, and The Voters over the past two years. It's called, simply, Choosing a President. Enjoy!

Beyond Bootcamp Multimedia Workshops

The Beyond Bootcamp Workshops for journalists and journalism educators will premier in January at the School of Communication at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, cohosted by the Knight Center for International Media.

They are an extension of the Multimedia Bootcamp Workshops at the University of North Carolina, founded and directed by Prof. Rich Beckman for nearly a decade there, before his move this year to UMiami.

Rather than a single workshop that introduces participants to different areas of multimedia storytelling, the Beyond Bootcamp Workshops will each last three days and cover a specific skill set. The first six workshops will be offered beginning January 3-6 and 7-10, 2009.

The curriculum includes Creating Audio Narratives, Multimedia Production, Teaching Multimedia, Creating Video Narratives, and Multimedia Programming for Journalists. Tuition for one three-day workshop is $750; tuition for two consecutive three-day workshops is $1,400. Register here: http://www.beyondbootcamp.org/registration/
