Creating journalism that matters

I expect to come out of the conference with a renewed sense of how to create journalism that matters, on different platforms. Multimedia journalism is so often used as a blanket term for any content on a Web site. I hope to learn how to use technology in the best way possible to tell stories of people in my community in a relevant manner that best reaches readers. I know that sounds vague, but what it boils down to is moving beyond making "pretty pictures" as a photographer and really focusing on capturing the moments that matter, and using new tools to enhance understanding of issues. Here are a couple photos from the first day:

(L-R) Javier Barrera, Marjon Rostami and Dalina Castellanos listen to Val Hoeppner's tour of the Diversity Institute.






The street outside our hotel includes a cupcake shop, a couple of bars and an amazing record store. I love Nashville!
