Making a journalistic point via many media forms

We've banged away here in some large measure about multimedia and how platforms such as video and audio impact on how we make a point.-- could rather than do make a point.

If you are interested in this topic and want to quickly skill up,  Adam Westbrook is offering a free to download e-book on multimedia journalism. And the tips and wherewithall  about tech skills shared aint half bad.

Westbrook advances a business model but he nonetheless captures the gist of what' sat stake when he writes:
the journalist of the future is a reporter, a video journalist,  a photo-journalist, audio journalist and interactive  designer, all-in-one. They shoot and edit films, audio slideshows, podcasts, vodcasts, blogs, and longer articles.   They may have one specialism out of those, but can go  somewhere and cover a story in a multitude of platforms.
