Innovative Individuals: Regina McCombs
You may recognize the name Regina McCombs from her past work at StarTribune where she covered large-scale events such as the devastating bridge collapse, or from her current role at The Poynter Institute where she is continually reshaping the way visual storytellers think about multimedia production. Her dedication and contribution to the field, both past and present, garnered her this week’s selection for “Innovative Individual.”
Introducing new series, “Innovative Individuals”
I am happy to announce a new weekly series at II, titled “Innovative Individuals.” This series is a direct result from user feedback about last week’s “100 notable multimedia professionals.” While I strongly believe that the list is a valuable resource for others curious about who else is out there, the major limitation is that it is by no means comprehensive. First, the list was based strongly upon my knowledge of others in the field, and I am the first to admit that I do not know everyone passionate about multimedia. Second, by creating the 100 cap, I left off countless deserving individuals. Therefore, “Innovative Individuals” is a user-nominated weekly series where readers pick who should be highlighted. At the end of the year, these individuals will be aggregated into the annual list.
IJNET’s “Fundamentals of Multimedia Storytelling” series a must-read
I came across a great blog series today by Iranian journalist Omid Memarian on IJNET’s site about multimedia fundamentals. Thus far, he has three great posts defining multimedia, discussing the teamwork and multi-tasking requirements of multimedia, and planning a multimedia story. I have recapped some of his points here, but I encourage you to read them in their entirety, as well as keep an eye out for his latest post publishing in the near future.
