Here at the McDaniel Free Press, we are always attempting to increase our knowledge and learn new relevant skills to produce the best newspaper possible. So when we learned of a digital media workshop at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN last week, we jumped at the opportunity.
Co Editor-in-Chief Mike Habegger, Co News-Editor Geoff Peckham, Co-Features Editor Juliann Guiffre, and staff reporter Roxanne Fleischer spent 3 days learning how to adapt new digital media methods for our paper. We were split into two teams, received assignments to cover, and were let loose into the field. The finished products were two short video segments focused on some aspect of Nashville, produced entirely by the Free Press staff.
We hope to implement these new skills in the future, but until then, check out the videos at McDanielFreePress.com GP
