Andrew DeVigal Multimedia Editor, N.Y. Times "It's an exciting moment in the industry as new technologies enrich the possibilities of journalism, giving us, storytellers, the ability to better organize and present complex information as well as enhance the experience of telling interactive stories through the fusion of text, photo, video, audio and infographics. Since late-October of 2006, I’ve taken on the role as multimedia editor of The New York Times. Besides shaping our approach and presentation for multiple-media storytelling, I see this phase in my career as an opportunity to work daily with dedicated and talented journalists, designers, artists and technologists to push the multimedia envelope in our industry. In the news industry since 1993 as a staff artist, graphic journalist, web designer, product developer, researcher and journalism professor, I have been in the privileged position to practice and observe multimedia journalism from its inception. I also co-founded DeVigal Design and run Interactive Narratives." .................................................- Andrew DeVigal links: Professor Devigal.|.Devigal Design.|.Interactive Narratives New York Times |

David Gilkey Emmy-winning photojournalist David Gilkey was recently awarded the 2007 national Emmy for Outstanding Current News Coverage by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his coverage of the deployment to Iraq of a 900-member Marine Reserve unit from Michigan. Paired with a reporter, his coverage spanned nine months from training in the Mojave Desert, to combat on the ground in Iraq, and the return home. At the same time, another team from the Free Press was covering the families at home and the hardships they were enduring. Born in 1966 in Portland, Ore., David Gilkey has been working as a professional photographer for the last 20 years. Gilkey first studied photography in his father’s basement darkroom which led him to journalism school at Oregon State University. An internship at the Boulder Daily Camera in Colorado grew into a staff position handling local assignments for the newspaper and overseas assignments for the newspaper’s parent company Knight Ridder. He joined the Free Press, another Knight Ridder paper, in 1996. Gilkey’s still photography and multimedia video presentations have been honored by the National Press Photographers Association, Society of Newspaper Design, Michigan Press Photographers Association, Associated Press Managing Editors, and Missouri School of Journalism Pictures of the Year. Gilkey’s images have recorded the fall of apartheid in South Africa, famine in Somalia, tribal warfare in Rwanda, and the humanitarian disaster in Kosovo. Since 9-11 he has made numerous trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Darfur, Sudan. In 2005 David Gilkey switched from using still cameras to using high definition video cameras for online documentary video. As a staff photographer and videographer he now shoots, edits and produces video in short and long form utilizing the footage for both the web and frame grabs for the daily paper. |
