Let’s just call what happens next a love story!
![Page 8: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

No love at first sight, but a painful crush
• Broadcast is too good for me!
• Will I look like a fool introducing broadcast into my program?
• What if I start, but I don’t make a good first impression?
![Page 9: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

This bad boy is not a familiar animal! Will my community accept this outsider?
Why can’t we all just get along?
![Page 10: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
It was just another story

![Page 11: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I remember the exact moment I fell in love

I knew I had to make it work for the children’s sake

But, I still depended on my traditional print
relationship Broadcast wasn’t in the journalism curriculum. !Nobody at the school, district, or state expected me to do it. !Printing 7 issues is all my principal required.

Why bother? It’s just more work for me!
![Page 15: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
✦Boise State University Media Director said most of his journalism graduates are being hired for their transferrable skills (taking video is big on that list)

✦Idaho Statesman gave an internship to a college student last summer just to take video (they offered this on the condition she would help whenever she was available!)

Can print students
afford a life without video?
���20
![Page 21: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
I knew I couldn’t start this relationship on my own -- Who should I turn to?
���21
• At my school, broadcasting taught by the business department
• Morning video announcements an embarrassment
• Teacher turnaround every other year
• Philosophy in video program is let students run with it
• The nagging voice in my head: “I don’t think this is fair for the children!”
![Page 22: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You can’t add broadcast without some parameters
���22
![Page 23: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
For example, my students were willing to go out and take video, but they brought back
icky stuff!
���23
![Page 24: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
���24
• Friends doing friend things
• Horrible lighting
• Audio from built-in mics on point and clicks
• Uploads from hell
• Editing with copyrighted music, always
![Page 25: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
���25
What’s more embarrassing is I didn’t know
how to help them
![Page 26: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
I just survived one disruption,
and now I need to to survive another?
���26
![Page 27: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I’m no Digital Journalism
Superhero -- or am I?
���27
![Page 28: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

That’s when I took a small group of dedicated and willing Journalism 1 students,
and said -- “Let’s do it!”
���29
![Page 30: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
To test my commitment
���30
Students had to make a video, and tell me what they learned
![Page 31: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
���31
My goal: What kind of marriage
will this look like in the classroom?
![Page 32: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Can I be truly happy?
���32
• How do I teach students how to shoot video when I don’t know myself?
• Am I committed enough -- this is going to take a lot more time than print
• How do I bring my video stepchildren into my traditional print family?
![Page 33: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Broadcast is a more complicated relationship
Video camera to capture images !Microphones to capture audio !Software program to edit story !!
���33
![Page 34: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Process = 4x Print 1. Planning 2. Shooting 3. Editing
4. Publishing
���34
![Page 35: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
For example
���35
• A period in print = a penciled dot
• Scene setting in print = memory + descriptive words
• Quoting in print = accurate note taking + quotation marks
!
• A period in video = a sound or transition
• Scene setting in video = wide, medium, tight shots taken & edited seamlessly
• Quoting in broadcast = capturing audio (usable, without distractions)
![Page 36: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Planning
• What’s my concept
• How do I want to tell the story?
• Who do I interview?
• How much time (budget) do I have?
• Storyboarding
���36
![Page 37: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Shooting• Camera equipment
• Lighting conditions
• Audio / Sound
• Tripod
• Microphones & Headphones
• Battery (charged + extras)
���37
![Page 38: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Smartphone editing
• Videolicious
• Use still photos
• Narrate with voice over
• Share instantly
���38
![Page 39: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Video Camera editing
• iMovie (download in iPhoto as Event, and then open iMovie and accept thumbnails)
• Final Cut (30-day free trial to experiment)
• YouTube has lots of top 10 video editing suggestions
���39
![Page 40: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Publishing
• Set up SchoolTube account (not usually blocked by schools )
• Upload video
• Share (take embed code or link)
• Post to website
���40
![Page 41: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Back to Audio• Uber important and challenging
• People will turn off video if audio no good
• NATS (natural sounds) voiceovers, subjects’ voices, for example
• Note VU meter for audio level
• Use headphones to monitor quality
���41
![Page 42: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Grading fairly
���42
![Page 43: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
���43
My grade book looks like this
Gray boxes are photographers who don’t write stories
![Page 44: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Video GradesGrade on deadline,
just like my traditional photographers
���44
![Page 45: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
All Grading
• Individual grade: full points if you meet deadline
• Rough deadline = write draft, take photos, capture video
• Ready for one-on-one critiques
• Final deadline = stories, photos, videos ready for publication
• Final “issue” grade = group grade (how did we do as a team?)
���45
![Page 46: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
For full credit, my students had to
Plan
Capture,
Edit, and
Publish one video.
���46
The Grade?
What I learned
and
What I would do differently?
![Page 47: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
First, Podcasting
���47
Students capture sound without video
![Page 48: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Second, Video
Rely on experts to give technical advice
���48
I always kept the faith that I knew how to coach.

Expect to be loved for who you are Use what’s available
iMovie !One tripod !Point and click cameras !Mics, if you have them and your equipment allows

![Page 55: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Three weeks later
★ I would be more consistent, and
get better B Roll, and have
better framing for interviews
���55
![Page 56: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
★ I learned eyes on third,
and wide, medium and tight shots
���56
★ I learned how things may not go
as planned, but always have a back-up plan to do your interviews
![Page 57: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
★I learned that speed, flexibility, and planning are all bigger parts of video than I ever would have thought. You can’t just wing it and expect it to be any good. Also, before you interview, you should ask the people you’re interviewing to fully answer and repeat the question in their answer. It’s really difficult to deal with footage that doesn’t have any context.
���57
![Page 58: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
★A lot of things go wrong, so you need to plan well.
���58
![Page 59: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
★ I learned how to edit videos on iMovie
and how to do voice overs
and incorporate text into the video
���59
![Page 60: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
★ When recording a story, it’s surprising
how much more you can learn
just by investigating further into the story
���60
![Page 61: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
★ Sometimes, things don’t always go as planned and people don’t show up to
interviews. Sometimes, your story just doesn’t work out. I learned that once you have all of the answers you need and footage, you can create a news
story that you can actually see and it’s pretty cool!
���61
![Page 62: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Once I took the plunge, I was really happy and
ready to commit!

!“Broadcast is four times as
hard as print” (+ shoot + edit + broadcast)

How to organize staff?
• Have students who do only video.
• Encourage regular staff writers to learn Videolicious. Create video stories with a smartphone.
���67
![Page 68: Adding Broadcast to Traditional Print Journalism Programs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042611/58ed99581a28abd9048b4601/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
In the meantime? • Interview staff reporters about a story (just audio)
• Use smartphones when interviewing regular stories (capture audio/video)
• If you have a separate broadcast teacher, upload their morning announcements

The End My program has been uploading morning announcements to our “print” website, just to have video on it.
