Join us next week, Monday through Friday at noon Eastern Standard Time, for an inside look at what judges for the
National Press Photographers Association's
"Best of Television" contest are seeing. The contest judging is held
each year at The Poynter Institute. The winning videos will be posted on Poynter Online starting Tuesday afternoon. The Photographer of the Year, Stations of the Year and Editor of the Year winners will be announced and posted Friday, March 7.
I
will interview nationally known photojournalists and editors who are
judging this year's contest. We will find out what impressed the
judges, what ethical issues arose in this year's entries and how the
backpack journalist trend is affecting photojournalism. Again this
year, judges will look at more Web-based video than ever. These
15-minute
News University Webinars
with the judges are perfect and free (did we mention free?) training
sessions for your staff and for TV journalism classrooms. The Webinars
will be archived, so you can still see them at your convenience if you
can't make the "live" show.
