Summarizing Some New Media Work

Chuck Zimmerman

NAFB Mult BoxFor those of you who wonder what I mean when I mention a “mult box,” here’s a picture of NAFB’s in heavy use at yesterday’s Washington Watch session. It’s what allows multiple people to easily connect to the audio feed from a podium for example. If you want to help the media out then you need one of these at your press conference.

Today’s a travel day for the agriblogger. I’m looking forward to some email catch up on the plane and a little analysis of some of the new things we’re doing like AgWired Mobile and AgWired Live TV. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

For you aspiring new media ag journalists I thought I’d summarize a one person multi event coverage week. Here’s some stats from the last few days:

370 digital photos, 215 of them loaded into 2 Flickr sets
15 audio interviews/press conference recordings
2 live video/audio streamed press conferences
1 YouTube video
posting/udpating on 5 different blogs
1 recorded/edited podcast
2 client site media production training sessions
12 mobile service story updates

Not too bad for an old guy, eh? If I can do it, then I know that you can do it too. Need help, just give me a call.
