Description
Journalism as the traveler's compass - David Miller Senior Editor @MatadorNetwork:
The "new media revolution" is a term thrown around a lot, but what does this really mean for you as a traveler, writer, or visual storyteller? We look at case studies of travelers pushing new limits in travel journalism and outline simple ways you can progress from casual blogging / journaling / photography to award-winning projects. Finally, we examine how these practices feed back into your travels, actually making you travel with more purpose, engagement, and appreciation.
Travel storytelling as art - Josh Johnso, Dean of Education @MatadorU:
Whether you're producing media for commercial clients or undertaking your own original storytelling missions, how do you stay true to your own artistic vision? We look at travel storytelling as an art form, universal across cultures and languages, and explore how we work as modern storytellers, no matter what the audience.
