Don will be helping us with Audacity and with the interviews you are doing this week, so be sure to bring them to class. You can save them as MP3 files and bring them on whatever media you choose, or store them in the cloud on Dropbox or some other service where you will be able to access them from the computers in the classroom. Bring your photos as well in digital form.
Here is Don's bio:
Photo Editor and Multimedia Producer, The Telegraph
mobile- (603) 759-1775
Don helps drive the multimedia bus at The (Nashua) Telegraph, a newspaper covering about 15 towns in southern New Hampshire. He is a photographer, photo editor and a multimedia producer for the approximately 20,000 circ daily and Sunday newspaper and associated websites.
He’s been on staff there since 1989 and has worked at other New England
newspapers. He still is on the street but he’s moved from solely covering daily photo assignments and managing the photo staff to helping coordinate the multimedia training and reporting efforts throughout the newsroom. In a highlycompetitive daily work environment he’s consistently put The Telegraph on the board first by covering breaking news with Twitter and mobile devices, including streaming live video. He’s also worked on longer form narratives, carrying ideas
from conception through production with words, photos, audio and video.
Don preaches the benefits of good new media storytelling to regional press associations and also the American Press Institute in Reston, Virginia. He has also presented Photography for reporters at the New England Press Association
(now New England Newspaper and Press Association) annual workshops. By request he’s consulted for both small and large regional news companies on multimedia reporting.
Don’s been a member of the National Press Photographers Association and the former NH Press Photographers Association. He’s been on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Press Association and the state’s Judiciary and the Media group. He was a contract photographer for the photo documentary book project America 24-7. He has received state and regional photojournalism awards including one of the first ever New England Newspaper Association Publick Occurances awards for documentary photojournalism. Most recently he placed first in the NENPA annual contest for video and additional recognition for audio slideshow (Boston, 2012).
