Telling stories on television or the internet has never been more important for journalists. There’s no longer any safety in being a “newspaper” reporter: most major papers are doing video, and reporters who intend to thrive must have skills on both sides of the camera. The same is true for television reporters at local stations and television networks, and bloggers who want to produce professional, compelling video content on their sites.
We can teach you how to do it–and do it well. We’ve been telling stories visually for years, and have learned a lot about standing in front of a camera and grabbing a viewer’s attention: whether they’re seeing you in a monster plasma HD set, or in a tiny box on a laptop. The basics cut across all platforms. We’ll coach you through it from start to finish, and give you the benefit of the mistakes we’ve made, and the survival skills we’ve learned.
Mark’s taught aspiring journalists on camera skills at Media Bistro in New York, and led workshops at the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism. He’s coached print professionals who wanted to take their careers into video, and business types who wanted to feel more comfortable giving interviews and making appearances on video on their corporate websites.
