Internet for Journalists (May 14 - Jun 22 2007)

Start Date : May 14, 2007

Location : Hilversum, The Netherlands

Event Details : The course will stress the power of the internet to deliver specific content to segmented audiences and thereby hold the attention of the audience in the face of growing competition.

Participants will come from the fields of print, television and radio journalism, and the organisers hope to take advantage of this diversity to focus on the multi-media nature of internet information delivery. Particular attention will be paid to three components of this multi-media environment :

- multimedia mix

- interactivity

- non-linearity

Through this course, organisers hope that participants « will acquire knowledge of the essentials of web-design (structure, interaction and lay-out) and skills for the development of websites and for production for the Internet, such as writing non-linear, interactive pieces, making graphics and producing sound and moving pictures. »
