Photographers become multimedia news producers | TheNewsTribune.com | Tacoma, WA: "There’s a revolution going on in the way America’s newspaper news-rooms do visual storytelling. For most of my time in the business the heart of our visuals has been still photography. In the past two decades, the introduction of increasingly sophisticated print and online graphics has enhanced and altered how we tell stories.
Now it’s online video that is changing everything. We’re interviewing finalists for a photography opening on our staff. We had more than 200 applications and have boiled the list down to half a dozen. A key element is how versatile they are.
They must be world-class still photographers, skilled at composing dramatic and telling images on the fly and processing them with the latest software.
But we’re also seeking photographers who can record sound and build captivating online photo galleries that have compelling narration and “live” sound.
And they need to be able to shoot and edit video."
