Quick update about something I love to do.
Talking, teaching and sharing about how the web has changed the way we communicate and share information.
Today I’m in Springfield, Mo., talking to a group of teachers from across the country about convergence journalism. Camp STN is the brainchild of my former media teacher at Hillcrest High School, Dave Davis. Since his first classes in video journalism 20 years ago, Dave has created a nationally recognized student journalism organization. Watch their work at HTV Magazine’s website.
Talk about lucky. I’ve had many mentors, from my Dad to Dave to Mike Sherman to Giovanni Gallucci who have taught me about what readers, businesses and customers want and how to talk to them about the platforms and stories that deliver.
Journalism, social media and the web are all growing and changing. It’s like Jack riding the giant beanstalk into the clouds.
