SPJ at UO

Carla Savalli, author of the Newsroom of the Future report, speaks at a Multimedia storytelling workshop at the University of Oregon. The Oregon chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists held its fall conference Saturday in Eugene.

Savalli, a career newspaper journalist, described how she transformed the Spokane Spokesman Review's process from a once-a-day print cycle to a 24/7 news cycle, including introducing a Breaking News team that started each day at 5 a.m. Savalli said she expected print reporters to continue to be expected to develop 24/7 reporting skills for online, while the likely future for print editions was as a source of depth, content and context.

Joining Savalli on the panel, I shared some of the multi-media tools detailed here, including blogging, hyperlinking, mapping the news, and embedding slideshows

Great session Franka and Carla, and kudos to the SPJ chapter for putting on a good conference/workshop. Thanks to all the presenters for sharing so much useful information. I wish I would have brought our entire staff.
