Journalism

Multimedia producers are responsible for telling stories using video and still photography, video and audio editing, Web design, graphic arts and animation, scriptwriting and interactive media. They advise reporters and editors about how to incorporate multimedia elements into their stories and generate original content themselves. They manage the production process (generating ideas, meeting budgets and deadlines) for multimedia projects.

Beat reporters are responsible for ongoing coverage of a specific topic area. They travel to interview sources and observe news in progress to prepare stories on deadline for the newspaper. The job includes talking with sources, transcribing notes, developing and writing stories. It may also include using social media to promote stories or remain in contact with readers and sources.
