Journalists’ toolkit will help me put my “old journalism” skills to work in a “now journalism” format.

The office where I work is not too far behind the latest means for communicating information to a broad audience, but it might as well be. Being just a bit behind in today’s rapidly changing media world leaves an organization far off the pace. By taking this course I hope to become an informed and self-sufficient user of on-line media in my work at the University of Florida. I enjoy photography and sound recording and editing. I hope to learn more about the equipment and methods to link images, text and sound to create compelling stories using Soundslides software.

These technical skills will also allow me to enhance the Web site of the monthly independent print paper I publish in Gainesville called Satellite Magazine.
