Tools for Journalism

Tools for modern journalism was a presentation prepared for primarily post-graduate students and staff of the University of Queenslands Journalism faculty. The talk was part of the JACtalk series.

The talk covered:

• Subject expertise – do you have expertise in a particular subject or genre, and if not how can you gain it
• Technical expertise – writing, photography, video, audio – collection and editing
• Information collection and filtering – do you use an RSS reader and how do you maintain it?
• Crowd sourcing or cloud sourcing – how comfortable are you with the differences?
• Next steps – self learning
