Fifty-three middle and high school students took part in the dynamic hands-on 2008 Summer Journalism Visitation workshop at the University of Florida. The free one-day event provided an opportunity for future journalists to learn and experience a day in the life of a multi-media journalist while creating a multimedia story on an environmental topic.
The theme was Journalism in a Green Era. Star-Banner Newspaper panelists Brad Rogers, editorial page editor; Alan Youngblood, photo editor; Dave Rhea, interactive editor; Erica Brough, photojournalist; along with The Gainesville Sun’s Nathan Crabbe, staff reporter, and Guy Marwick, co-president, Marion County Audubon Society shared their viewpoints, video, and photography on the current and future state of Florida’s eco-water system in the opening session moderated by Charles Harris, director of the Knight Division, College of Journalism and Communications.
Organized into four multi-media news teams, the youth traveled across the college campus and around the Gainesville community to capture live interviews and other information for their three-minute multimedia news package. The final videos and print article focusing on litter and transportation issues were presented to approximately 120 workshop attendees in the afternoon.
Leading the four workshops were Julie Garrett, Santa Fe College communications specialist; David Houder, Santa Fe College websmith; Nathan Crabbe, The Gainesville Sun staff reporter, Kamau Hosten, Star-Banner Newspaper digital content assistant; Alan Youngblood, Star-Banner Newspaper photo editor; Donna Winchester, St. Petersburg Times staff writer; Liz Roden, University of Florida Documentary Institute graduate, Laureen Ricks, University of Florida, Mass Communications graduate, Jannet Walsh, Star Banner Newspaper photographer/videographer, and David Hackett, The Gainesville Sun arts columnist. David Stanton, PhD candidate, U.F College of Journalism and Communications served as the technical advisor for the day.
