• NYT folks work with a team to produce multimedia stories. #cmanyc10 #
• @KevinLoker We already have a copy, it is so easy to use. It is too bad I couldn't make it to that, you'll have to tell me all about it. … #
• Design Technologist – have someone on your staff to play with CSS and pick up HTML5 – @drewvigal at #cmanyc10 #
• Motion Graphics = video/infographics/audio – looks very cool. Also hard. @drewvigal is very excited, thinks it is untapped market. #cmanyc10 #
• Looks very very cool, done with After Effects + Final Cut. Flash video format or can be .mov or HTML5 vid #cmanyc10 #motiongraphics #
• Note to self, spend more time playing with After Effects. Every thing I see something made with AE is awesome. #cmanyc10 #
• @drewvigal seems not to have signed on to the Flash hate train. #cmanyc10 #
• Users fall into either Homer Simpsons or Lisa Simpsons, so keep it simple but give it depth. #cmanyc10 #
• Whole group at NYT thinking about how to use, handle and display data and databases.#cmanyc10 #
• Interactive news, graphics, design, video, photo are the desks Multimedia works with. You can see slides at @drewvigal 's website. #cmanyc10 #

• Post all the time and get the facts right sez @brianstelter #cmanyc10 #
• Fill this in: "In media, I can be the best at [fill in here]" #cmanyc10 #
• "You have to really really want it." #cmanyc10 #
• "Online, online, online" Web should be on the resume first. Think of yourself as a web journo. Web first jobs. #cmanyc10 #
• 'Follow stories all the way through to the layout' #cmanyc10 #
• "Need to Hustle" know that you need to work those 14 hour days says @brianstelter #cmanyc10 #
• "We are all faking it until we make it" #cmanyc10 #

• http://twitpic.com/18kncl – Keynote at #cmanyc10 #
• @brianstelter Naw, this is great and answering most of my Qs. Tho I would love to hear more about how you use Twitter. #
• A lot of peole at #cmanyc10 talking about how much time journos need to work, esp w/social media. #
• Captured some video with @brianstelter for @UPIU. #
• Hearing all about WaPo's combination of Web and Print at #cmanyc10 #
• RT @KevinLoker: w/blog, there's chance source may not talk. After publish piece, ethically but w/o their comment, may be more apt. #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo was worried about letting digital re-post print content #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo and Web Devision divided, hard to bridge the gap. #cmanyc10 #
• @twEapen Sweet. Thanks. in reply to twEapen #
• WaPo was stuck with the egos of their reporters and internal staff, not readers. #cmanyc10 #
• Tan Ly–Lead Sunday Designer–is talking about the issues WaPo had with internal competition between web and print products #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo – a lot of various editors with their hands in the web pot. Moving to a more "flat" system. #cmanyc10 #
• @mattdchambers I haven't really heard that, which is sort of surprising. What sessions have you heard that in? #cmanyc10 in reply to mattdchambers #
• Print and Digital sides at WaPo had very different needs and required many changes, including 50% change in staffing, to combine #cmanyc10 #
• New setup integrates WaPo digital folks into the hub of the newsroom. #cmanyc10 #
• RT @macloo: Why I don't go to many confs: All men on online news of tomorrow panel. No women in the future? #sxswi #
• You (journalists) have to be on both sides, figure out how to write, be interactive and design. #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo's newspaper also gets changed, much more visual. #cmanyc10 #
• @JosephStash Mmm, @brianstelter talked about working for 4 years before he got a real paying job. #cmanyc10 in reply to JosephStash #
• The diversification of the WaPo product also means more fronts for competition. #cmanyc10 #
• "Web design is very formated still… where there is engagement is very different."… "It can be done better." – WaPo's Tan Ly #cmanyc10 #
• @JosephStash It seems first rung on the latter is to build ur own brand, work outside the industry. #cmanyc10 in reply to JosephStash #
• WaPo uses content editors to provide the interactive bridge between print and web #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo Designers working over print and web provide continuity #cmanyc10 #
• IMO: Dunno, this presentation sounds like it should be titled "WaPo takes shots in the dark." Not a feel good for the industry. #cmanyc10 #
• @JosephStash I agree, serious disillusion is in store for anyone expecting to graduate and become a journ right off. #cmanyc10 in reply to JosephStash #
• WaPo put together news design department that works over web and print. #cmanyc10 #
• @KevinLoker Yes, but bleeding money while their doing it. Huge difference compared to presentation by NYT. #cmanyc10 in reply to KevinLoker #
• WaPo thinking about stories in terms of how they are consumed online. Designing appropriately. #cmanyc10 #
• New presenter speaking now, Justin Ferrell, News Design Director at WaPo #cmanyc10 #
• Creating content for all products with an eye for consumption styles on separate products is a great idea from WaPo #cmanyc10 #
• WaPo wants to design for print in a way that addresses how we read online. Interesting… #cmanyc10 #
• Phone battery approaching empty. Not good. Forgot to bring charger. Anyone else here have a Centro? #cmanyc10 #
• Interesting, WaPo is pushing more of their people to be duel-skilled. Print designers learning CSS/HTML #cmanyc10 #
• @KevinLoker We need an Interactivity CMS/API that can take stories+enrich them on they fly. Real-time must be > then Twitter IMO #cmanyc10 in reply to KevinLoker #
• RT @collegepublish: Looking for cheap food at #cmanyc10 ? Head west an avenue to 8th Ave. Lots of cheaper eats! #
• All that being said, it sounds like WaPo may be moving in the right direction. A lot of good ideas here. Not sure about process #cmanyc10 #
• Universal newsdesk handles all incoming news for both web and print at WaPo. Using Eidos (sp?) for a web+print CMS. #cmanyc10 #
• Gah, internet is awful. #cmanyc10 #
• Adobe Audition session is showing me that I don't know nearly enough about audio – #cmanyc10 #
• Great helpful answers on sound editing with Adobe Audition from @beatlejase at #cmanyc10 #
• Free photos are available all over, if you look and are not afraid to ask says Katie Schlientz at #cmanyc10 #
• Outlines, patterns and textures are all great Adobe Illustrator resources for design #cmanyc10 #
• Take advantage of vector imgs. #cmanyc10 #
• Bembozoo.com has been cited as a good example of how to play with type #cmanyc10 #
• Find local photogs and illustrators through Google, theispot.com, folioplanet.com, guru.com. Also, keep in contact with folks. #cmanyc10 #
• Via @JournalistFTC: 2002 survey-49% of US thought the 1st amendment gives us too much freedom#cmanyc10 [Well that scares the hell out of me] #
• Check out the design on budget slides at http://www.katieschlientz.com #cmanyc10 #
• One more session and the day is done. Thinking about food… #cmanyc10 #
• @KevinLoker How 'bout an @GMUStudentMedia / tweetup meetup for food after last session. People up in rooms intested? #cmanyc10 #
• Cell is minutes from death. Want to talk re:@UPIU, @GMUStudentMedia etc? I'll hang at 5th floor tables for a lil while after 6:20. #cmanyc10 #
