The Program
Join The Columbus Dispatch’s Doral Chenoweth and the E.W.

Whether you are a seasoned photojournalist or an online editor, this hands-on workshop will improve your shooting and editing skills specifically for online presentation of video. By the end of the workshop, participants will have at least one video story completed and uploaded (on Google or Youtube) that can be used on your newspaper’s site.
Equipment: Participants can either bring their own video-capable camera (provided it shoots video on an SD card) or purchase a video-capable camera at the workshop (Kodak v1233 cameras will be available for purchase for $199 provided you inform the ONA office that you will need a camera).
