New Media Tools for Journalism Slides - 10/23/09

Best. Class. Ever.

I taught New Media Tools for Journalism at BU today and had the best time. The students were enthusiastic and excited to learn new ways to tell stories using a cellphone. This class could have gone on all day long since there's so much to cover. We had lots of fun using the new tools in class.



In this class we take a tour though the tools you can use to report stories with a cellphone. Text, photo, audio and video, using tools like twitter, flickr, utterli, blogtalkradio, ustream, and qik. Auto post to twitter when you send a photo in to flickr.

These two tweets are what it's all about:



Thanks to the students for making it a great class.

Here are my slides:

John Tobin LIVE at 2:30 on BlogTalkRadio

Recently I've become frustrated with local radio. It's not local anymore.

MassMarrier takes things into his own hands with a local talkshow that broadcast live every Tuesday at 2:30. I saw this over at Left Ahead.



This week he has Boston City Councillor John Tobin.

Listen in: BlogTalkRadio - massmarrier - Term Limits for Boston Pols :

"City Councilor John Tobin lights the fireworks. He proposes term limits for both Mayor and Councilors. What's to gain, what's to lose and can he get people to sunset themselves?"

Listen LIVE at 2:30.

Marry in Massachusetts - Catch John Tobin Tuesday.
