To tell a story, use different tools
Thursday, November 1st, 2007For a bit more than a year I’ve been obsessively tracking the movements in the Online reporting world. I consider myself a storyteller first and foremost, and I will do whatever I can do to help tell that story in the best possible way. That means using other technologies than just the printed word.
I’ve always been a gadget geek: I have owned my own digital recorder for nearly two years (and am considering an upgrade), a microphone (thinking of buying another two and a splitter), computer programs and other tools to help me learn, on my own, more about Online reporting.
But for those who are not tech-saavy, please read this great post by Mindy McAdams: First lesson in audio for journalists. This is a great summation of what you need to do to start collecting audio.
