Flash for Journalists
Learn how to create interactive programs on a Mac
Course Details
You're a great reporter and a great writer, right? Too bad the last dozen journalism job postings you found required knowledge of Flash. Fret not. This class is your answer, even if you shiver at the mention of any software application other than Word. In one weekend, learn how to use Macromedia Flash to create interactive widgets -- slideshows, maps, quizzes, and more -- without having to learn too much of the geeky technical stuff. On the first day, you'll get an introduction to Flash basics -- you'll learn how to use the timeline, the tools bar, and the stage. You'll create simple animations and slideshows. On the second day, we'll cover more complex interactives using the drawing tools in Flash, as well as images created in Photoshop. You'll do yourself very proud. By the end of class, you can expect to have: Admission Requirements: Please submit a letter of interest (including a brief work history).

Instructor BioDuy Linh Tu's Courses Create Your Own Website – New York (Class starts June 21)
Flash for Journalists – New York (Class starts May 17)  Duy has worked on the news desk at ABC News in London, and has shot for MTV, CBS News Productions, and the Food Network. Duy received his Masters degree in journalism from Columbia University. He has won a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship for excellence in Arts and Cultural reporting, and was the 1999 David Jayne Broadcast Fellow at ABC News. Duy also teaches new media at The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. Testimonials I thoroughly enjoyed Duy's Create Your Own Website class and was very excited to walk away with a real sample Web site of my very own. Duy's instruction was very clear. Photoshop and DreamWeaver are now much more accessible to me. The class was a true springboard thanks to Duy's carefully detailed lesson plan. -- S. J. Gluck"Taking Flash and Create Your Own website prepared me for my new job and allowed me to dive into the world of multimedia as a journalist and beyond. Best of all, Duy's teaching style was relaxed, clear and to the point. I advise everyone and anyone curious about acquiring these tools to get ready to absorb all things innovative." -- Cindy Rodriguez "Thanks again to Duy for a great class. I used to be intimidated by Dreamweaver and Photoshop, but he demystified them, and now I have my own portfolio site on the Web." -- Russell Smith "Duy is a terrific teacher and instructor. He was funny, supportive, patient, extremely well-organized, and clearly possessed a mastery of the subject matter. He was the ideal instructor for an inexperienced, technophobic marketing guy like me, and I would definitely take more classes with Duy!" -- Josh Levin, Gallant Films, LLC "Duy is amazing! He gave me the extra confidence/push I needed to finally put my business together. The class was definitely affordable, and all the information provided was great." -- Patricia Rhinvil, CEO/Founder, 48K Media, LLC "My 3 hours with Duy were the most valuable hours I have spent yet in developing my business. Duy took us step by step through the process, sharing his own personal business plans, finances, contracts, and mistakes so that we would understand the tangible, non-theoretical parts of starting a business. I would recommend Duy's seminar to anyone who wants to turn their dream into reality." -- Emily Koteff, freelancer "Duy's seminar was great. He made the process easy to understand and answered all the questions I had. This was the second of Duy's classes I took (the first was Going Solo: How to Start Your Own Media Business), and I would take another." -- Dean Arrindell, associate producer, NBC News "No need to trek to Columbia University to get up to speed on new media! You'll get a tremendous ROI (return-on-your-investment) if you take Duy's classes at mediabistro. Duy efficiently and effectively demystifies new media by sharing his knowledge -- which is a full college semester course -- in a very informal and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Duy!" -- Dolores C. Nolan, RMM, Vice President/Stations Radio Advertising Bureau |
