So you wanna think multimedia....

During these past few weeks I have learned a valuable lesson. If you want to be enthralled in the multimedia world, be prepared for anything. Get out there and get going. The hardest part in new media, is not saying yes to everything, but instead, creating a happy medium between everything. Believe it or not, although multimedia journalists are constantly working and intrigued by the constant developing stories there is always 534,648,903 other things in their lives. This is something where balances need to be created. When thinking multimedia, remember, balance is key. This is something I have learned within these past few weeks. Do not get yourself wrapped under ropes of stress like I did and just balance things out :-)

A New Year is a coming :-)

Believe it or not, the New Year is right around the corner. As for my resolution--honestly I am unsure at this time. What's the point of making the commitment to save the world, become taller, or even the fastest person in the world when if just may happen anyway. If you ask me, resolutions should not only take place on the first of every year, but all the time. Myself being a competitor with myself, I am constantly trying to be the best for me. So if you want to consider that a resolution... sounds great :-) HAPPY NEW YEAR!~

Everything somehow falls into place

Now, although as a New Media Journalist, I have the urge to become fully enthralled into multimedia, there comes a time where you just need to go AHHHHHH!!! After thats all done, you realize things are working out just according to plan. In my case, just today, as I was working on my flash (as I am everyday), I was given another great opportunity. I will now be working with NCR as a corespondent intern covering the Philadelphia area. In the quest for thinking multimedia, sometimes it just gets to the point where everything somehow, crazy enough, falls into place! Thanks NCR

Nice Simple Multimedia

As I was searching to find out more about the financial crisis and where it stands after seeing the special report on the television as I woke up this morning. This afternoon, I was searching through washingtonpost.com and stepped across this video. Chris Cillizza gives his weekly update rendition on a topic of choice in under two minutes. He is very down to earth and has personality and spunk. I really feel he is the essence of multimedia and I would like to strive and have a multimedia production like his in the near future.

Flash is the word

First off I apologize for the unresponsiveness to blogging in these past few days. I have become attacked by a single word... "flash." Not like a photograph, no the new media web craze and building website. As an aspiring multimedia expert, I advise all to learn or at learn become familiarized with flash. To know web design will make a profound difference. So get out there and get your feet wet. I will be working on my second web site, my person profile for the next few weeks, once when both are posted live to web, I will be sure to apply the link to my blog. This may take a while, so please bear with me during my flash creation times and understand, I may not be blogging as much, but I will be sure to share my accomplishments and thousands of struggles along the way. Until then keep on interview and building up those amazing skills :-)

post election depression

Now that we have a new president, like many journalists we have gone into post election depression. What in the world does a journalist discuss now that this two year mania of electing the 2008 presidential election has come to a close knowing Obama is the winner. I personally have created many sorts of podcasts on the electoral winning, but what now. How does one who is multimedia follow through the media change of who is running for president to who is the winner. Earlier this week I stumbled across one of the best multimedia examples of being into the news of our new elected president while keeping the audience entertained and aware. Please visit http://snipurl.com/59o09 [www_npr_org] to learn more and let me know what you think. Personally I feel it's a great concept and found great interest in this NPR podcast.
