#1. Did you see this? I am amazed at the “Best iPhone Photos of the Year” – it’s powerful what one can do with his or her iPhone! The categories even include news… https://www.yahoo.com/tech/these-are-the-best-iphone-photos-of-the-year-88476977104.html
#2. Broadcast/Video teachers… What is WALLDO? Go check it out! http://scholasticbroadcasting.com/blog/2014/5/29/what-the-heck-is-walldo
#3. Advise more than one publication? Trying to flow web, tv, and more? Here’s some help from Gaby Herbst with JEA Digital Media http://www.jeadigitalmedia.org/category/resources/beat-systems/
#4. I personally show this to all my Photography and Video Classes (and if you do Newspaper/Yearbook, it can work for your photographers)… The Rule of Thirds! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsgEzEJ_fd4?feature=player_detailpage]
#5. This story starter could work easily for Print or Broadcast… E-cigs. Have you guys noticed that what once started as a way for some adults to taper down and eventually cut smoking out of their lives, is now a teen sensation? More and more teens are turning to them… and the makers of the products are pretty aware (Girl Scout Cookie flavors? Candy Flavors? ahhhh, didn’t we once find Joe Camel directly pulling teens in?) Here’s a few links to stories about the dangers of Ecigs. Would your staff be willing to write about it in their newspaper? Produce a story or PSA about it on your tv show? I am hopeful mine will this fall. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/03/health/ecigs-nicotine-poisoning/
#6. NSPA Members… a heads up! –> there were issues with the upload system for the Broadcast Honors… and they extended it to June 20. Check your email or look at their website!
