Testimonials from Cronkite New Media Academy GraduatesMembers of the summer and fall 2009 academies talk about their experiences in the Cronkite New Media Academy: "When I enrolled in the New Media Academy, I thought journalism was dying. Now after attending the academy, I believe our profession is simply reinventing itself and stands on the threshhold of a whole new era, with exciting multimedia possibilities for even more powerful investigative reporting. The NMA faculty at the Cronkite School is incredible; passionate, professional and patient, our instructors guided us every step of the way. Their enthusiasm and expertise made all the difference and even made it fun! After 30 years in journalism, I remain confident that my best work still lies ahead." Catherine J. Rourke “The academy helped me comprehend the interface among such media as Twitter, Facebook, blogging, etc. The instructor made it simple and easy to understand. Tweeting was no longer scary!” “I have created my own Web site using the (WordPress) platform. I am loving it! Thanks so much for exposing me to this wonderful technology.” “The New Media Academy has gotten me to the point where I'm not scared of Final Cut Pro as I was before. It represents my first step into the multimedia world, from which I can experiment and, hopefully, eventually become a capable multimedia journalist.” “The professors/instructors were outstanding, and having them there coupled with the extra IT support was so helpful and impressive. I have incorporated many things I learned into projects at work.” “I won’t lie, 10 weeks is a huge commitment. And the work is hard. Sometimes I got frustrated. But mostly I felt like a kid learning to read. The baffling Web technologies were unlocked and demystified. “I now blog and have a Web site and a Twitter account. I understand how to edit and upload video and sound, and how to work with digital photos. I am able now to converse with students about the best multimedia strategies to showcase their work, and I know how to add multimedia components to my own stories.” “I GOT A JOB! …It was basically because of the New Media Academy (and the skills I learned there) that I got this job!” |
