Before you spend a ton of money and effort buying the hardware and software you think you need to "do multimedia," sign up for
this Poynter Webinar at 2 p.m. Thursday.
It will be hosted by my Poynter friend and multimedia colleague Ellyn Angelotti.
She will be giving you a shopping list of the tools you need to do online multimedia. How do you know which camera to buy? What kind of microphones work best? How much money will you have to spend to turn multimedia stories?
Heck, the money Ellyn will help you save by not buying junk is worth the price of the Webinar!
And as a bonus, you'll be able to download our suggested shopping list and customize it for your newsroom.

Don't forget that we have lots of hands-on multimedia seminars coming up at Poynter, including seminars for one-man bands, people trying to learn about video, and a new July seminar for college educators trying to pick up multimedia skills. Take a look at the schedule and drop me a note if I can be of any help.
For these seminars I will be joined by Ellyn, Poynter's Kenny Irby and a remarkable cast of working multimedia professionals. Come learn the skills that you need to learn to do the journalism of the future.
