Nathan, a staff reporter for the Whidbey News Times, spoke of the who, what, when and where requirements of today’s fast-paced newspaper world. He mentioned the need for brevity, fresh ideas, meeting deadlines and the technology needed to remain competitive in our media saturated community. Our animated storyteller placed us in the driver’s seat as he reenacted crime scenes, auto accidents, and human interest stories. Not to leave followers hanging, he answered questions on practical matters; such as, dealing with copyright issues and obtaining public releases, digital files size and contact info. Even the subjective details of how to select an appropriate image for publication were discussed.
What goes into the makings of today’s newspaperman? Our man Nathan Whalen is the Whidbey News standard.
