Reporter’s Guide to Multimedia Proficiency

Chuck Zimmerman

Mindy McAdams is teaching online journalism at the University of Florida and I’ve pointed you to her website before. She’s been writing a series of articles on new media reporting which I thought would be helpful for you budding agribloggers and farm podcasters. She’s looking for some feedback about what she’s written so far since she’s got several more articles planned. Here’s a list of the topics she’s covered so far. You can find links to all of them on her blog.
