I’m not sure why, but Google Chrome keeps crashing hard on wordpress today. Other than that little problem it is usually my favorite browser. So, now I have to get all my favorite sites into Safari and that’s a pain too. So, if you are reading this, it is despite the best efforts of technology to keep it from you.
1 – Jay Rosin, the distinguished journalism prof. from NYU has a short video on youtube about the current state of the New News.
2 – Bob Kaplitz has another great tidbit on how to make the most of scant b/roll. This is also a touching story, with a super narrative.
But Bob wasn’t done with just that. He has another video from the Today Show about Master Storytelling about a master storyteller and salesman.
3 – Since I am still waiting for Photoshop CS4 to be ordered by my district and my old copy of PS7 won’t run on Leopard, I’m testing out free image editors. This go around, I tried Aviary‘s Phoenix image editor. I created a new background for my Twitter page. Aviary works fairly well for an online editor, but honestly it is not really as good as iPhoto. I’ll keep looking until I get CS4.
4 – The Edit Foundry has a great video on the use of Natural Sound in storytelling. I personally love stories with lots of Nat Sound. I feel it drives home the realism of the story to the viewer.
5 – The 10,000 words Blog has a collection of Valentines for journalists. Here’s my favorite:
It's from the heart, really.
6 – Adam Westbrook has a super checklist for news startups, but I think it would work for news stories, yearbook themes, nearly any media idea.
7 – Should journalism teachers be teaching students more about the business of journalism? Should we still be teaching about the near-religious “wall” between content and advertising? Newspaper Death Watch has an eye opening post about this very topic.
8 – Tamron Lenses has posted episode four of their beginners guide about shutter speed.
Well, another short list – mainly video and photo. Let’s hope the links pick up as the East Coast digs out. Crazy how much snow fell from Dallas to D.C.

Yup, we genuinely suffered through a Snowpocalypse. Just headed back to school tomorrow after 8 days off. Amazing!
