Digital Journalism and Storytelling Intensive

First Class Announced for this annual summer course for Native media makers to learn and apply media and journalism skills in ways that benefit Native communities. Participants learn how the platforms of print, video, audio, new media, and more can be effectively and creatively employed to tell important stories; including practical skills such as equipment use, digital editing and production, basic reporting techniques, and best practices that journalists and citizen storytellers face when employing new media in their reporting work and while engaging new technologies that will empower themselves and their communities with voice. This intensive encourages the Native American perspective and storytelling in tribal languages.
