Russell Sparkman discussed Content Marketing in the context of what it means to journalists. With the news industry in turmoil, where are the opportunities for journalists to earn income applying their craft. According to Sparkman, it’s non-traditional outlets, including for-profit, non-profit and government entities.

The University of Washington’s Hanson Hosein explains how we are all a “media corporation,” that we are all involved in content creation and distribution and discusses, in that context, the role of the professional journalist.
Brent Friedman
How do you build a story that tells one part on one platform, say TV, another part, say the backstory as a web site, and still other parts on other platforms such as mobile phones? Brent Friedman of Electric Farm Entertainment shares his innovative world, that he calls “Transmedia” and how they built a world with multiple story lines.
John Gauntt
What does Cloud Computing mean for journalists, today? John Gauntt of Media Dojo provides a fascinating look into the cloud to give us that answer.
Paige West
Do you call yourself a writer? How about a photographer? Whatever your storytelling specialty, the Director of MSNBC’s Interactive Studio, Paige West, says, don’t limit yourself, match the tools to the story. In her presentation to the Langley Center for New Media, she also presents the case that sometimes an effective way to present a story is through graphics, even graphics driven by data, especially if the viewer can customize the information to fit his or her own interests.
Dan Lamont
So you want to be a photographer or videographer and make a living supplying content for broadcast and the web? Before you quit your day job, plunk that $8K down for the state-of-the-art camera, or quit job, listen to what real-world professional photographer Dan Lamont has to say. Hint: it’s about cows, lemmings, collaboration, pay and other real-world “stuff” that you have to know if you want to make a living capturing images.
