Sessions 25

Mario Garcia’s Storytelling Showfest

Location: 
Auditorium

The journalism of interruptions and everywhereness: How does one write, edit and design for an audience that gives us between 6 and 8 seconds before it dives into information.  Storytelling is more vibrant and full of possibilities than ever before, and we have several platforms in which to present news and information. This session will concentrate mainly on the smallest screen---the smartphone.  It will also deal with the simplest of stories, as in a push notification, all the way to how breaking news flows and how editors must learn to accommodate the individual characteristics of each platform, including the role of print.  This will be a fest, indeed, and the participants will leave with solid tips to make storytelling unique in their publications.
