Advanced Multimedia Reporting Workshop and it's freeeee!

I just got this email from Brian Storm. This sounds like a great opportunity. If you have any interest in multi-media reportage you should at least apply. This is being put on by one of the best at this genre and to top it off it is free. There is always a catch, right? Well, space is limited to 8 people. So hurry!

Given the tough economic climate and the critical need for multimedia training, MediaStorm will be holding a one-time, tuition-free Advanced Multimedia Reporting Workshop, in Brooklyn, NY from June 20-26, 2009.

The MediaStorm Advanced Multimedia Workshops are designed for multimedia storytellers who want to get to the next level. It is not an introductory course. Students are responsible for their own travel, room and board. Reporters are expected to have a high level of competency with still photography, and be familiar with audio and video techniques. Editors are expected to be comfortable in Final Cut Pro.

We only have spots for 8 participants as Multimedia Reporters, Editors or Observers so we are expecting a competitive process. Applications are due no later than Friday, May 15, 2009. Participants will be selected based on the content of their applications.

To apply, fill out the application form.
