ScribeMedia.Org Summer Program

There’s been increased interest in ScribeMedia.Org’s summer program.

Here’s what we have in mind for June through August 2008.

Things you’ll do:

• Go out on a daily basis and report on the business, technology and culture of digital media, create and edit audio, video and multimedia packages and/or write compelling stories based on your reporting.
• Keep you finger on the newsmakers, newsbreakers, organizations, companies and institutions that are creating and utlizing digital media in new and interesting ways; bring such people into our studio for on-camera interviews; and collaborate with those around you to increase the visibility of what you’re creating.
• Participate in and create live Webcasts of important events and interviews.

Things we’ll do:

• We’re going to arm you with video cameras, audio recorderes, still cameras, notepads and pens. We’re going to add editing suites, multimedia software applications and a host of other tools to create your Web stories.
• We’re going to pair you up with editors to hone your production skills and increase your multimedia competence.
• We’re going to place you on documentary projects to collaborate with editors/producers and introduce you to a greater media community so you learn how they’re utilizing Internet communications technologies to further promote their stories.
• We’re going to push your reporting and stories through RSS feeds, iTunes podcasts and our distribution network.
• We’re going to sit you down with our software developers so you understand how code creates the media architecture that makes all of this possible.
• We’re going to pay you: monthly stipend.

How to apply:

Send your resume, clips and URLs to pubs [/at/] scribemedia [/dot/] org. Include a cover letter that outlines your interests, current reporting focus and general multimedia acumen.

Michael Cervieri is Executive Producer of ScribeMedia.Org and an Adjunct Professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
