KQED QUEST staff

During this session we will hear from staff at QUEST, the largest multiple-media project in KQED's history. QUEST staff will talk about current media buzzwords such as convergence, multimedia and social networking. They will discuss how station-based producers are changing their thinking to embrace new media. What does a multiplatform model look like and how does a public broadcaster transition to a multimedia producer? They will also explore the pitfalls and possibilities of a new way of working, how science coverage benefits from this new model, and ask: What are the big science topics to watch out for in the coming year? Pick up best practices for making online content – from quick Web extras to more advanced interactive projects. Also, some tips on taking good video and stills on the run and how to incorporate pictures and other info into a Google map.
