Saturday, February 20, 2010: 11:30 AM-1:00 PM Room 5B (San Diego
Convention Center)For the first time, the National Science
Foundation (NSF) and NBC News are partnering to offer
specialized instruction for scientists and engineers in the use
of hand-held camera technology and techniques. Participants will
emerge with enhanced expertise in the communication of science
research. Knowledge of digital journalism is significant because
journalists are storytellers who sift through information and
make the crucial distinction between fact and opinion. By
integrating audio and video into their stories, journalists
enhance the depth, impact, and credibility of news. In some
cases, entire narratives can be explored, and entire worlds
accessed, with only the use of audio and visual cues. This
workshop will equip scientists and engineers with similar skills
to share their research in an effective and compelling manner.
