The One Man Band

The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz has a very interesting column today on the "one-man band." He interviews Scott Broom, a former "coat and tie" journalist for 27 years and had to reinvent himself with the aid of a three-day boot camp. It's a good article and a highly suggested read.  

This, by the way,  is exactly what our Platypus Multimedia workshop is for, to help photographers who want to expand their knowledge into video and to turn reporters into video journalists to the point where they can do it all. Both Dirck Halstead and PF Bentley have been teaching this course a long time (ten years) and they know how to make journalists into better, all around journalists.
