Video: Flathead Lake - The Pristine and the Alien
A grateful 20-20-20 fellowship recipient, I arrived early in Missoula to take the Wednesday video workshop. On Thursday, I headed out to Flathead Lake with my Nikon D90 (but, sorry, no tripod), and on Saturday afternoon, turned the footage into this, my very first video.
How to upload a video to YouTube and embed it in a blog post
This is what I'll be demonstrating in the video workshop this afternoon.

Journalists: Starter kit for your digital presence
On Sat. Oct. 16, 2010, I'll be presenting a session at the SEJ conference called "Build Your Own Website: Springboard for Your Media Career" ...I didn't mention this in the conference agenda, but in my mind the title for this session is really: "Do you seriously want a media career or what?" Whether you work for a newsroom or independently, these days every media professional absolutely needs a strong online presence with a clear home base of your very own (not your employer's site). Without that, your long-term media career prospects are not so good. Be prepared! To create your... Continue reading

Working with citizen journalists and community contributors
News: It's not just for professional journalists anymore. Whether you welcome this development or not, the fact is community contributors are a growing and vital part of the news and information landscape, especially on the local and regional level. Given that: How can we all work together to create great news and information, and otherwise support and reflect our communities? On Thursday at the SEJ conference, at 2pm in the University Center Theater, I'll be leading a panel discussion on how news organizations and professional journalists can work and collaborate with citizen journalists and other kinds of community contributors. The... Continue reading

So they want smartphones... BUT: Are they actually willing to pay for the pricey unlimited data plans that go along with smartphones? That's a huge barrier for most folks.

Hi, David
Many, many thanks for conducting and posting this interview with Boulder police chief Mark Beckner. This sheds very interesting context indeed on the indecent exposure citations issued Halloween night.
I researched state law today, and it looks like you're right: The law does not appear to give judges the ability to exempt from mandatory sex offender registration anyone over 18 who gets cited for indecent exposure.
Also, I don't know if you were aware, but around 1 am on the streets of downtown Boulder on Halloween -- the very same day as the Naked Pumpkin Run -- there were two remarkably violent assaults: A woman was gang-raped near Boulder High School, and there was a racially motivated beating.
Also on that same day, the Camera reported that Beckner said: "We wanted to do something before (the event) got out of hand,’ said Police Chief Mark Beckner. ‘This was a good opportunity to enforce the law.'"
I've written up what I've learned in my blog post today, which excerpts your and links to your post:
Thanks again for your citizen journalism work here. Let's keep an eye on this.

Streaking is for adults only
I asked both Superintendent King and Chief Beckner if I could talk to them about the response to the recent streaking incident. No surprise, not even a reply of "no" from Chris King. (Why is it every time BVSD screws up - they clam up?) But kudos to Mark Beckner who did make time to talk to me. ...
