The photo at left is me speaking with a journalism class at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The editor-in-chief of the Courier & Press graduated from there and, as part of a relationship between the paper and the school, I went there for a week speaking to classes. For the most part, I talked about the multimedia aspects of my job: explaining how I report for the paper but also shoot video, edit audio, create PDFs and work with a Web-first mentality as much as possible. The students seemed to really enjoy the presentation, which included the following examples of recent video work.
And Bowling Green is a great little town. They've got a charming Downtown with an old-fashioned dime store and a huge record store, among all sorts of other shops, coffee shops and restaurants. There's also a number of renowned pizza places - and I can report the two I tried lived up to their reputation.
