It was a rainy start to the day, but that didn’t stop our reporters from coming to class with their footage today! I was very pleased at the amount of work they accomplished. Today’s class focused on learning Final Cut Pro, so our reporters can edit their stories. They caught on very quickly and started […]

Our reporters are hitting the streets today working on their stories, but that doesn’t mean that Backpack Journalism is taking a break today. In fact, our interns (Lindsay, David and Grant) are working hard on a piece that reviews our first Backpack Journalism session. It will get posted as soon as they get it done. […]

The lesson learned today, was ALWAYS SAVE your work and SAVE OFTEN!  Unfortunately it was a lesson learned the hard way. I guess you can say it was an eventful day! We had MCM’s edit suites full with bright-eyed reporters ready to put their stories together.  The timelines on Final Cut Pro were filling up […]
