New Media Journalism Final Project: The End Of The Road.

This year has been extremely challenging. Having a full time job combined with the pressure of complex weekly assignments was stressful to say the least. However, every class provided me with a skill that I didn’t have before I started the course. For example, I had only toyed with a blog on Wordpress, but I didn’t really know how to set up a proper website, much less one that appealed to a potential audience.

Furthermore, I never entertained the possibility of shooting and editing my own videos, much less add narration, cutaways and other effects. But this course showed me that not only was I capable of doing so, but that knowing how to work with  tools like Adobe Audition and Premiere, iMovie and Soundcloud, would provide me with a unique knowledge that I could use to my advantage when hunting for a job in journalism.

The world of communications is changing every day. The paradigm of how stories are delivered to the public is shifting every day. The New Media Journalism Master of Arts program takes that into account and shows us the best strategies and tools to reach our audience with social media. Adequately utilizing Facebook and Twitter today is not only essential but necessary for the journalist of the XXI century. In a world where news are updated by the second, it is important to have the knowledge not only to compete but also to maintain the highest standards of out profession.

Many people pass themselves off as journalists today, but it’s in self appointed name only. In this course I learned that being a journalist is not just about writing a story, but doing so while upholding certain codes of ethics that every one of us should abide by. This was made obvious to me particularly in the execution of the capstone project in month eleven and the final thesis in month twelve. While the capstone project was the execution of our final multimedia project, the thesis was our “making of”, so to speak. Our chance to narrate step by step, how our capstone project came to be and the different stages we went through to achieve its completion.

While academic writing is not my strong point, I have to say that this last course was the final stepping stone of a long and difficult path. It allowed me to evaluate my project and have the opportunity to leave a written statement saying how it came to be. The tutorials and examples provided on how to do the different chapters were extremely helpful, and without them, completing the thesis would have proved extremely difficult.

In conclusion, it’s been quite a ride. Every single class that I took to complete my MA in New Media Journalism provided me with something different that I will undoubtedly need when working in the field. Ethics, video and sound editing, multimedia reporting and distribution, research, compelling storytelling and academic writing were linked in this program to provide a complete array of important journalism tools. I am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to put them to good use and make my professors proud.

The final stretch: my month in NMP.

This month was full of hard work, sleepless nights and anxiety-filled deadlines. Although it was indeed nerve wracking, I have to say now that it’s almost over, I realize how much I learned in these last four weeks.

Putting the capstone project together was a titanic enterprise, which began nearly four months ago and slowly grew from isolated articles and independent research pieces to the fully-formed research page that we posted officially on November 16.

The course’s expectations from us were many and personally, I felt many times that I was stumbling. However, the hard work put in previous months, did have its rewards and made putting together the capstone project somewhat easier. I understood as the deadline drew closer, that what the program expects of us, is nothing less of what our readers, our audience and our future bosses will expect from us as journalists: nothing less than our whole commitment to journalistic excellence.

Regarding my expectations of the course, I never thought it would be anything less than demanding. I am the type of person who thrives when given deadlines and NMP provided those twofold. The many tutorials and suggested readings were extremely helpful and in my case, the ones that discussed the best times to post on social media ,SEO topics, and examples of query letters for pitching our articles were the best. After writing my pitch and sending them to several carefully chosen media outlets, I was surprised to receive two responses (both thanking me but suggesting other sites that might be better for my particular story, but still, it was nice to see that the letter had provoked a response).

I have to be honest and say that at first, I thought that the distribution plan for our capstone project had a few features that were a little bit of an overkill. I thought that we were required to post too many pre and post publication announcements and that perhaps people wouldn’t like that.

Particularly, in one segment of the plan, we were asked to post a link to our articles on the Facebook pages of certain groups we were following. I was worried that the owners of these pages would see me as an intrusive self-promoter. But then, I received this minutes after I posted a link to my article on the Film Festival Organizers Facebook page:

For once, I was glad to be wrong!

NMP was the culmination of many months of arduous work and in-depth research. I think that this course, like many others in Full Sail’s NMJ Master’s Program,provide essential tools for our careers and development in modern journalism. I feel prepared enough now to tackle any story, and to carry out investigative journalism with professionalism and integrity.

[adelgadoramirez]

My Month In PRR

I have to say that PRR has been one of the classes that I’ve enjoyed the most in the NMJ Master’s program. When this course started, I thought that it was going to focus primarily on PR, and the different techniques behind public relations and reputation management. However, I was pleasantly surprised when we also dug deeper into the subject of social media outlets and SEO, which allowed me to discover that I had a lot to learn about the different search engines and how they can make it easier for your readers to find your website, or on the contrary, make it exceedingly difficult.

 My favorite assignment in the course was in week four, when we had to grade our websites using different analysis sites. Doing this, I was surprised to see that I had to improve on many things like adding more keywords to my posts, adding an SEO title in order to make it easier for search engines to crawl my website, and adding meta tags so my posts can stand out from others with similar topics. Additionally, the other assignment I enjoyed was in week three, when we had to contribute posts to different websites or blogs that were related to the topic of our own websites, and we also had to tweet and retweet consistently during the course of that week, so we could see how frequent (or not) our participation was on Twitter. When doing this, I realized that I should be tweeting a lot more than I had been up to that point because this keeps me and my website in the presence of readers who are interested in the topics that I write about.

 As a journalist, I think that the course that we covered on optimizing digital content and personal brand is the one that will help me the most because journalism in done very different now. Twenty years ago, you really didn’t have to sell yourself as a professional because if you had a college degree in a particular subject, that was all you needed to get a job in a newspaper or a magazine. Now this is not enough. Journalists not only have to sell their name as a brand in order to get hired, but they also have to know how to efficiently manage search engines, different social media outlets and how to reach their target audience before their competitors. And this is why I think that the lesson on renovating our “About Me” pages was very important, even though I admit that in the beginning, I didn’t think it was. This is again related to the importance of selling our name as journalists the same way we would sell a product, and I have to admit that for me this isn’t easy because I’m not very good at self-promotion. When we first had to do our videos, I found it very hard to talk about me instead of just talking about my website, but the more I began to do it, I realized that it just as important for my audience, to know me as well as they knew my website. I still need to work on this, but I believe this assignment allowed me to take a step in the right direction.

This course allowed me to understand that PR professionals are not just glorified salesmen who are trying to constantly shove an image, a business, or an artist down our throats. Instead, I now realize that our jobs are not that different. We all want to put the information out there in the most efficient way possible. In our case, we want to make the information or news available to the reader or target audience; in the case of publicists, they want to make this information available to journalists. After this course, I can now see them as part of the team and a valuable asset to have.

My Journey In SME

Now that month nine of the Master’s Program in New Media Journalism is almost over, I find myself going back and reviewing the program course to see what I’ve learned and comparing it to the course description. In the specific case of this course, Social Media and Online Community Engagement, I have to say that it really delivered. The description of the course indicates that “it helps journalists understand how to leverage social media to find story ideas, engage audiences, and promote their work”. I found this to be absolutely the case in SME.

I learned from tutorials like “The Best And Worst Times To Post On Facebook, Twitter And Pinterest”, that I was posting at all the wrong times. I didn’t know, for example, that the best times to post on Twitter is weekdays, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 pm. so I basically posted on Saturday evenings, when I finished my assigned weekly publication. Although for school purposes I still had to post at those times, I began posting other stories that I wrote for my website, unrelated to school, at the times that the tutorial suggested. Surprisingly, when I checked Google  Analytics, I saw an increase regarding the number of clicks and visits that my website had that week. This was a great lesson that in social media, the times and days that you post, truly make a difference.

The great thing about this class, is that it motivates you to try social media platforms that perhaps you wouldn’t have tried on your own accord. In my case, the one that I fell in love with, is Storify. I found it to be very user friendly, and had loads of stories that interested me in direct relation to the beat of my website. I like the layout of the site, and that the articles are very streamlined and clean, which I think is great for readers. I still have to work a lot more on publishing on the site, and obtain a better understanding of how it works. But I think that I am definitely on the right track.

As month ten looms upon us, I am feeling nervous but also very excited. I truly believe that journalism is my true calling and Fullsail, combined with the NMJ program, has shown me how to be one of the better ones. Social media is an important and it must be said, essential tool for today’s journalists, and this course helped me understand that it’s not just what you post; it’s also about the when and the how.

[adelgadoramirez]

Lessons learned in Multimedia Reporting.

This class for me represented the opportunity to use my own judgement to select what multimedia tools would better suit my stories. I appreciated the fact that I could use the ones that I was more comfortable with, instead of having to use a multimedia outlet that I felt, did not suit the story.

Even though I have gotten better at shooting and editing video thanks to the knowledge I have gained in this course, it still isn’t my favorite form of telling my stories. Don’t get me wrong;video is of course, a very powerful form of storytelling, but it’s not one that I manage with ease or the one that I feel works the best for me. I do however, enjoy incorporating compelling and interesting photography into my different stories, accompanied many times by detailed inforgraphics which I have learned to relish as a very clear way of letting the readers see clear and hard data regarding a particular topic.

I also discovered my enjoyment of making audio clips in the form of podcasts that many times included sound bites from my interview subjects, as well as audio slides with pictures that told the story, along with the subject and/or my own personal narration. I was thrilled that I got to make the decisions to incorporate these elements into the stories I wrote in each of the assignments. Tutorials that were provided to us by our instructor through these four weeks, such as “Standards for Multimedia Storytellers” were incredibly resourceful.

In summary, this course was a magnificent opportunity to spread my wings, so to speak as a multimedia journalist. It provided me a unique space to put to use the many things I have learned in previous courses, and finally getting the chance to portray the stories the way I feel work better for my audience. Multimedia Reporting is a course that allows the student to test what he or she has learned in previous months, paving the path to make us much better journalists in each of our specific beats.

The challenges of Digital News Production.

I have to say, DNP was one of the most challenging courses in this Master's program, at least for me. I knew that it was going to be demanding, but I was not prepared for the amount of work and the detailed requirements that we would have to put into each project. I don't know if this is true for the rest of my classmates, but I work a full time job, from Sunday to Thursday, which means that Friday was the day to shoot the interview, Saturday, editing and writing the article, and Sunday posting. So in reality, I had only three days to do the assignments, not a week.

This posed a problem because my editing skills are not the best. It takes me a long time to edit a video properly, particularly if it has narration, natural sound, interviewee sound bites, etc. And truth be told, I believe it affected my grade, in the sense that I could have done a much better and thorough job, provided I really had a whole week to do it. However, my expectations of the course were fulfilled, because it challenged me enough to do in three days what would normally take a week, and I think this will be an asset when I start actually working in journalism. I am more prepared now than before to perform under tight schedules and strict deadlines;  that is an invaluable asset, and I have this course to thank for that.

I believe that I fully complied regarding what was expected of me from this course. Some of my assignments had mistakes, partly due to the already mentioned lack of time, but I don't think it was anything that can't be corrected with simply doing a better job of proofreading an assignment before publishing. It is my opinion, that I gave it my all in this course, that I improved my video editing techniques, and that I successfully applied what I learned in the past four weeks of DNP.

All the content that was made available to us in this class I feel helped my learning experience, but at least for me, the one that really inspired me to pay close attention was the one related to shooting documentary style interviews. This one was the most interesting because it allows the interviewee t do the talking, with minimum intervention on the part of the reporter. Even though there's still some heavy editing involved, it's nice to focus the camera on them and having the subject tell the story, not having to hear it through the voice of the narrator.

The resources that helped me the most in this class were: 9 tips to shoot an interview documentary style.

How to make an online video that engages people

Understanding jump cuts.

Tutorials on Adobe Premiere and Adobe Prelude found on Lynda.com.

And our instructor Jeff Sharon's videos, on how to obtain good quality B-roll, how to write a script, and the video editing process, all found on FSO.

This class also had the particular requirement of turning in our Capstone Project, which is the starting point of our final project at the end of the NMJ program. My instructor's feedback on my Casptone Project idea, really helped me cement many of my ideas, and now I know I’m on the right path regarding the topic of my final project, which will really prove helpful in the months ahead.

This particular course was invaluable in my professional preparation as a journalist. Although I feel like one already, there's still a lot about journalism that I have yet to learn, particularly certain professional lingo, and when it comes to video journalism, how to adequately film a story that is visually interesting, while simultaneously, engaging the audience with a well written script and audible narration. Although my preference is towards print journalism, or news platforms that rely more on photojournalism and a well-written story instead of video. I'm confident that if I ever have to work in broadcasting or shoot a video for a story I am capable of doing it, and doing it well, thanks to what I learned in this class. Additionally, the editing skills that I learned in DNP were invaluable, as were the techniques for properly shooting an interview, or a community event. All of these elements, will make me a much better and skilled journalist.

My experiences in Multimedia Development and Editing

“This course will help me as a student of New Media Journalism to learn the process of multimedia news communication, along with editing and photography techniques, essential in working as an online media news reporter. Full Sail Library's databases on social media topics will be a valuable asset, as well as tutorials on Multimedia and Editing on Lynda.com.”

I wrote this back in January, when we are asked for our first course, “Mastery: Personal Development and Leadership” to write a timeline on Dipity.com reflecting on the different courses that we would be taking throughout the year, along with a brief description of our expectations for each class.

I have to say that I was pretty much on target when I wrote what Multimedia Development and Editing would be about, and what I could learn from it. It has taught me a lot about the process of multimedia news, particularly how to put together a multimedia story, consisting of photography, sound, and video. What I didn’t expect, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, was how much I learned about different editing software such as Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition, which I had never used before, I do admit that Garage Band got the better of me; I didn’t fully understand it and I found it difficult to navigate around it, particularly when I later tried with Premiere and saw how simple it really was. So mastering that is a future personal project of mine.

Tutorials such as Fullsail’s Audition CC Essential training the Soundcloud tutorial , and Editing with Adobe Premiere  to just name a few, were also incredibly helpful, particularly for someone like me whose editing capabilities are not very strong. The last tutorial on how to use Adobe Premiere was incredible detailed and simple to understand, so much that it motivated me to try it, even though my instructor advised me that iMovie was better for beginners like myself. I admit that it was very challenging at first, but when I saw my multimedia story finished, I felt really proud of myself and how much I had learned and accomplished in these last four weeks. To sum it up, I learned much more than I expected to, and I am certain that my new skills will be of great help not only in the months to come and my future classes, but also when I actually start working as a professional journalist. I can know put together a quite effective and professional multimedia story, which I wasn’t able to do before, and to me that is pretty priceless.

Lessons I Learned This Month in Research and Investigation Skills Development.

“Investigation and research is essential in journalism. Many mistakes are made the reporter failed to fact check his or her information. This course will show me how those mistakes can be avoided by performing effective online research and this way, avoid falling into ethical pitfalls.” I wrote this entry in my Tumblr Mastery Journal back in January, when I started my online classes at Fullsail. It was for our first course in the New Media Journalism program, Mastery: Personal Development and Leadership. When I described what I expected to learn in Research and Investigation Skills Development, I didn’t quite realize how much research would be required from us for each individual assignment. I have to be completely honest, and admit that I was very disappointed with the grades I obtained in this course. I was getting A+ until Legal Aspects of Media, and it was in Research and Investigation Skills Development that I got my first B+. I was terribly disappointed, but I have to admit that it provided incredible motivation to produce better and higher quality investigation and research skills. I understood that in writing a story, there must be plenty of background research and an array of well-supported sources. By relying on government and public records, rather than on private websites, my articles came across as more genuine and valid. Our instructor provided us with valuable resources, such as YouTube video tutorials for important topics like Researching Data, Finding and Requesting Interviews, Investigating Interviewees’ Statements, Defining and Finding Experts, and Finding and Using Public Records. One example of this kind of detailed research, was the one we had to do for the Week 4 Discussion Board, where we had to search through public records and find three links relevant to the beat of our website. I admit I was at a loss because my website, Artfilmfile.com, is related to news, articles and interviews about independent and foreign films. What public record could I find on that??

However, it occurred to me that maybe there had been lawsuits involving independent filmmakers or perhaps even film festivals that I could search for; once I knew what road to take, the research became a lot easier for me. By first searching cases involving filmmakers, I stumbled onto several government websites like U.S. Courts.gov, California Courts website, the Orange County Clerk of Courts, just to name a few. I was amazed to find how many libel, defamation, and First Amendment court cases I found that were related to independent filmmakers. If I had not been given this assignment, I probably would have never known about it.

I won’t say this class is a breeze because that would be terribly misleading. But what’s certain is that I came out a much better investigative journalist as a result of it. Now I have a better grasp on researching trustworthy sources, how to find them on the web, and accurately support my data with solid evidence such as hyperlinks to pertinent websites. In addition, I realized that investigation and research is much more than just typing in a Google search; it means having enough criteria and professionalism to discern the truly valuable information from potentially unreliable material.

Lessons Learned in Legal Aspects of Media

I must be honest. When I began this course, I believed that it would involve the complicated analysis of long and tedious legal cases, which would have little to do with my Mastery Journey and journalism career.

Now, I am happy to admit that I was dead wrong. This course taught me so many things that as a future journalist are absolutely essential, such as copyright infringement laws, defamation, deceptive advertising and the extensive analysis of the First Amendment, freedom of speech and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). There is no way that I could be a communications professional with ethics without having learned what I did in this class. It taught me to analyze online articles more carefully, to check if a particular website credited the photos it used that clearly did not belong to them (I was shocked to see that most of them do not).

Foto courtesy: Art Film File

I own two blogs and a webpage, and because of what I learned in this course I began to double-check every photo I uploaded on my site to make sure they were properly credited. Now, I prefer to take the photos myself for my film review website and blogs or to directly email the distributor or the production company for their permission to use their photos. In many cases, their websites have press packets, which they upload with the intention that the images in these packets, be of free use by members of the press, bloggers, and other online media venues. But as a result of my analysis of copyright law for this class, which was my favorite topic,now I always make sure. Being aware of the law, and having the knowledge of issues like copyright, defamation, and deceptive advertising will help me in my career as a professional journalist to avoid potential lawsuits and having my professional credibility crushed.

We live in times of the Internet “free for all”, in which many people get away with stealing other people’s images, and unless the owner of the work or a third party related to them happens to stumble upon it on another site that uploads them without proper credit, the owner of the image will perhaps never find out that their work is being illegally used. To me, being an ethical journalist is a priority, and taking this course was certainly a step in the right direction.

[adelgadoramirez]

Writing For Interactive Media

As the fourth week of Writing For Interactive Media comes to a close, I realize how essential this class was as a future journalist. Two weeks ago, I was given the unique opportunity to cover the Palm Beach International Film Festival as a member of the press. With a lot of first time jitters, I learned to cover a red carpet event, an after film Q&A session, and met many interesting people that represented important networking opportunities. However, I also made mistakes: I didn’t record any interviews, choosing instead to photograph the event which might have worked if my camera had not failed me repeatedly. I didn’t take enough notes, which caused me to rely on memory and emails to the people I had already interviewed in order to obtain correct quotes for my webpage and blog. 

In spite of this, I realized that my course Writing For Interactive Media had given me the tools of what NOT to do when interviewing as well as what to be aware of and how to prepare, but due to my inexperience I had unwillingly ignored most of it. However, at all times I was aware that as an ethical future journalist, I can’t make up any quotes or information that was not given to me first hand by either actors, directors, producers, writers, or festival organizers. Which is why I preferred to make a second attempt at gathering factual information from each of my sources and not fall back into making up or adorning my stories with false facts, which this course showed me through reliable sources on proper attribution and tangible examples of disgraced journalists such as Janet Cooke, Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass who failed to remain true to their ethics as journalists in order to get a story published.

I know that I will have future opportunities to cover more events, and by realizing the mistakes I made the first time, I will not forget again what this course taught me. To always be prepared, to make sure I have all the tools and equipment I need, prepare questions but be willing to go off the script if necessary, no “yes” or “no” questions. These are only some of the useful resources and valuable lessons that Writing For Interactive Media has given me, and it must be said that this course gave me much more than I anticipated in the beginning. Not only did I learn what how to properly and accurately write articles for interactive media, such as Twitter, Facebook and my own website but also what mistakes to avoid in interviewing and covering live events, and those are references which I will always use in future events as a journalist.

My Mastery Journey continues: a review of my NMC course.

Looking at my Dipity timeline, which I posted at the end of January for my first course of the Master's program in New Media Journalism, I realize that my goals and expectations for the New Media and Communications class gradually changed. Initially, I believed that at the end of February, and by concluding this course, I would have a better grasp on new technologies offered by emerging New Media platforms, and how these would help me reach audiences more effectively as a future journalist, but this course far exceeded my expectations. I not only learned different technologies available to me through resources offered by the course instructor, such as tutorials on Lynda.com that were incredibly helpful in assisting me with installing my webpage on Wordpress and managing my Bluehost account, but additionally I was required to do an analogy on the question "what is journalism?", which in turn lead me to ask myself why I really want to be a journalist in a time when it appears to be one of the least trusted professions. The answer that I was able to give myself, my classmates and my instructor was: I want to be a film journalist not only because I want to share with others my love for films, but also because I am fascinated by so many independent filmmakers and their ability to create beautiful films with very small or virtually no budgets. It is my opinion that these directors, actors and writers deserve space in media outlets and they need journalists to push their projects into the view of the audience.

Photo: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AAntonio_Navarro._Autorretrato._Pirograbado..JPG

As I mentioned previously, not only did I learn about new technologies for online media which I thought initially would be the highlight of this course, but I also came to understand what it really means to be an ethical and professional journalist with clear examples of what not to do as a reporter. A presentation available to us by our course instructor, speaks of the "social responsibility theory", which is in summary, the cardinal rules that a journalist must follow: "professionalism, truth, accuracy, and objectivity" when following a story. I used to think that a certain unspoken understanding of these rules in the journalism profession was a given,but the violation of them by veteran reporters such as Brian Williams, indicate that surely everything is not clear and transparent in many of the stories we read online, printed or broadcast media. But it is my job as a future journalist to be vigilant not only of my ethics, but the ethics of colleagues who seem to believe that anything goes in order to get the latest scoop, that securing promotions and huge salaries should somehow take precedence over the value of authentic and factual stories.

I took so much technical knowledge from this course. But more importantly, I received lessons in how to be a good reporter without compromising my ethics in the process. Credibility is the best asset a journalist can have, and when it's gone, it's gone for good.  These lessons in ethics, good reporting, the true meaning of journalism, and what being a journalist in the XXI century entails, will stay with me as I go into the field, with the certainty that money or the possibility of fifteen minutes of fame will never make me compromise my career or my credibility as a journalist.

Gallery: the departed, 2014 | Obituaries | Sight & Sound

A visual homage to some of the key figures in film who passed away in 2014, to accompany the roll-call and obituaries in our March 2015 issue.

I think this visual representation courtesy of Sight and Sound magazine is amazing. A collage of key figures in film who passed in 2014 together again for one final casting call. For cinephiles like me, this is an inspiration. These amazing artists will live forever through their work and how they enchanted us in the darkness of a movie theater.
