MediaStorm founder calls for bold journalistic endeavors

Many of us have wondered exactly how MediaStorm makes money, aside from the sponsorship from the Washington Post.
As luck would have it, founder Brian Storm recently spilled the beans during a talk to college students and laid out his business model in detail (see link below).
There's also some excellent career advice in here, whether or not you plan to work in media.

Do we still need to buy separate video cameras?

Maybe not. This amazing piece of video was shot with a DSLR "still" camera, the Canon 1d Mark IV.

New text for Multimedia Journalism courses?

Mark Luckie from 10,000 words has just put together The Digital Journalist’s Handbook. For those of us on the frontier of digital instruction, this might serve as an appropriate text. Can't wait to get my copy.

I also like Jonathan Kern's Sound Reporting to get students used to the principles of audio production in general.
