The new newsrooms

We’ve all heard it by now.

Do more with less. Move to a web-first newsroom. Develop cross-platform skills. Give everybody on the staff a video camera and get moving pictures on the web. Invite the public to send still images and video to us.

It can be mind boggling.

What is a person interested in quality visual storytelling to do? And how can they keep from being marginalized as naysayers when they raise questions about the quality of the visual report that results from this scatter-shot approach to new media? How do they navigate in these uncharted waters and what do they need to know?

If this sounds familiar to you, register for The Kalish today.

Always Celilo

Faculty work: "It's like it flows through our blood."

By Torsten Kjellstrand, The Oregonian

Always Celilo -- "No falls. Fewer fish. Marginal land. Why stay?"

Before people, before governments, before treaties, forces collided at Celilo. Monsters, a creation story goes, dammed the Columbia river so the salmon couldn't swim up it. But Coyote fought back. While the Monsters were away, Coyote dug at the dam for five days until the water ran free again and the rhythm of life resumed. Today there's a new dam built by the U.S. government that Coyote couldn't claw through.
