Rich Beckman, Knight Chair of Visual Journalism at the School of Communication at the University of Miami, recently participated in three speaking engagements: one on ‘the state of college media online’ for College Media Lab, another titled “Y Tweets R Important,” and one on his new World Cities Project. Rich has always been known for his international, student-led multimedia projects. I was lucky enough to study under him while at UNC, and I highly recommend spending some time listening to his thoughts on multimedia. As he says, “multimedia is such a powerful tool that affects people greater than any other media had.”
