Also known as: ZMediaWorks
Complete and accurate information will enable media entities -- whether in print, on the Web or in broadcast form -- to rise to the top of ever-expanding choices. Journalism organizations must break information down to the newest and most informative points needed by their audience, present them creatively, then add the background to tell a story in complete fashion. Those that succeed will become relied upon by a broad audience and enjoy success in their mission. Those who take lazier ways out will fall into the clutter of blogs and other quasi-news sources. My goal as a journalist is to work hard every day to present solid, fair news that our staff's audience will find credible -- and to make it stand out above the fray. Specialties -- Content-based presentation skills -- Visual design education -- Forward-thinking coaching of colleagues, constructive feedback -- Ability to put self in audience's shoes in order to apply news judgment -- Eye for using alternative story form skills within a publication's established styles
