White Staff Photographer for the Chicago Sun-Times, who will be celebrating his 40th anniversary as a staffer in Chicago this summer.

Multimedia Journalists Discover Life After Newspapers
PDN says:
Now showing on the home page of the Big Sur Land Trust of Carmel, California, for instance, is a four-minute mini-documentary about the historical, physical and emotional connections Big Sur residents have with the land they live on. It’s a promotional and fund-raising video with the look and feel of a newspaper multimedia story. And no wonder: It was produced by Geri Migielicz, Richard Koci Hernandez, and Dai Sugano, the Emmy Award-winning multimedia team employed until recently by the San Jose Mercury News.

dispatches / War and Photography – Part 1
dispatches says:
Is the current style of photojournalism stale? Does the current trend for commenting on the aesthetics of photojournalism detract from the stories that photographers want to communicate? What can photojournalists learn from the art world?

Tim Hetherington Tackles the Emotions of War With "Sleeping Soldiers"
PDN says:
It may be the best photojournalism project we can’t show you: A powerful three-screen audio-visual presentation about the war in Afghanistan. The difficulty is that it requires a theater rigged with three projectors. So far, Tim Hetherington’s “Sleeping Soldiers” triptych has only been screened in one place, the 2009 New York Photo Festival.

Riding A Storm: From Photojournalism To Documentary Filmmaker
Todd Spoth says:
I have always been a proponent of multimedia and video. It excited me, and I love to learn new skills. I made a list of things I wanted to learn, a list of resources to learn from, and a list of skills I thought the normal newspaper photojournalist transitioning to multimedia would not likely seek out. Things on the last list are arguably less relevant to the traditional journalist, but I wanted to have skills others didn’t, such as knowledge of specialized programs like Adobe After Effects, creative titling and editing, and 3D graphics, among others.
