FOCUS ON CAMPUS: 2014 Dow Jones News Fund Multimedia Training Academy

Louie talks with Borderzine webmaster and full time lecturer Lourdes Cueva Chacon and two participants in the fifth annual Dow Jones News Fund Multimedia Academy held at UTEP's Cotton Memorial Building this past week (June 1-5, 2014). Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante (University of Arizona) and Michael Murcotte (University of New Mexico) share their experiences in their "teacher becomes student" tasks in learning the latest methods in multimedia journalism, and what they will take back into their respective classrooms. They were part of a contingent who were split up into teams and assigned stories to test their skills before heading back into their classrooms and workshops. The academy's completed assignments are now available for viewing at http://borderzine.com/
