Ernis Mamyrkanov, Director of the Osh Media Resource Center, along with Kuban Mambetaliev, Chairman of the Kyrgyz Republic Public Association of Journalists, and their interpreter, learn more about the Multimedia Newsroom during a visit with Dick Nelson, KUJH-TV Newsroom Coordinator. The men were visiting The University of Kansas and the Kansas City area as part of an international program arranged through the International Visitors Council of Greater Kansas City.
The group sat in on our morning 694 class, which turned out to be a good class for them to visit because we spent most of the period looking at multimedia slideshows. I wonder how much of the discussion was lost in translation? Did they understand Rick's discussion of the "girls gone wild" community photo galleries, and all the innuendos that implies.
Today was a good day. No. Today was an awesome day. We finally got around to discussing last week's essay assignment on photo galleries. In a week that was tragically cut short by fall break, we managed to pack a lot in. Today's 694 class discussion lead us to an important ephiphany, one that should lead to new and exciting developments in the multimedia reporting curriculum. Stay tuned.
