General Journalism // Ricochet by Chrys Wu

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists hosted a multimedia workshop at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism earlier today.

It’s one of the newest schools in the country, built within the walls of the former New York Herald Tribune, and running since fall 2006.

Not many people have been there yet, so here’s a look around the lobby.

A photo montage on one of the walls had a quote that seems especially appropriate, given the speed at which news flows online. Click it to see more pictures from inside the school.

CUNY announced Friday that it will offer continuing education classes to its alumni for a small fee.

Constant learning is always a good thing, and given the facility, its equipment and its instructors, dedicated alumni are likely to seize the opportunity.

This could be subheded, “Always a Sucker for Cute Fuzzy Animals.”

Earlier today, Andy Carvin of NPR posted a tweet about NPR’s Chengdu Diary, a blog by the reporting team sent to China that will accompany a series airing May 19-23 on “All Things Considered.”

Blogs like this allow visitors to get a feel for what it’s like to go to a place with a project and a purpose. It’s not just about the journalism, it’s about the crafting of stories, and a window into other lives and places.

And they give people an excuse to post video of cute, fuzzy, squawking animals.

For media organizations doing big projects, investigative reports or covering multi-day events, blogs are an ideal way to expose the process of newsgathering — and to bring something unique and human to a website.
