Giving due credit to The Poynter Fellowship and supporting its prolonged existence
Three years ago I was on the cusp of graduating with nowhere to go. I had turned down the invaluable opportunity of documenting the Special Olympics in China with Professor Rich Beckman because my parents urged me to find a paying job. At the time, the only social network I used was Facebook and I never read blogs (nor did I know what a RSS reader was). Yes, I am totally calling myself out right now, but I am doing it to honor The Poynter Institute and to recognize them for their invaluable summer fellowship. I was a 2007 fellow, and despite the chance of sounding overly dramatic, it truly changed my life. Obviously I am not the only one who thinks extremely highly of the fellowship, as three 2009 fellows – McKenna Ewen, Greg Linch and Nic Barajas – created the website “Voices from the future of journalism” in an attempt to raise funds for those who are accepted into this year’s program.
The importance of knowing your fonts
Ever since Sara Quinn taught me the importance of a good font, I have always been more conscious about the fonts I choose for my multimedia packages. For all you graphic artists and designers out there: Does finding this video humorous make me a nerd, or a budding designer?
