Cohn/Linch: David Cohn interviews me (Greg Linch) about CoPress

Part of my role as community manager is to be the figurative face of CoPress. Now it’s seems as though that is being taken literally.

David Cohn, aka Digidave, interviewed me about our humble little group last weekend. The video was originally posted here on Thursday:

I’m really more of a behind-the-camera kinda guy (with the exception of Mad Journalism), but this was for a good cause.

Also, check out Daniel Bachhuber‘s post providing some additional context to the interview:

Why? Because you can’t get enough of multimedia.

To try to satisfy your hunger for awesome information about awesome storytelling, we’ll be livestreaming the new round of lunch speakers at part two of two of Beyond Bootcamp.

We’ll also be streaming Friday and Saturday’s lunch speeches. Information about speakers will follow, but both will be from noon to 2 p.m. EST.

Feedback wanted: Special Olympics athlete profile video

If you follow me on Twitter (@greglinch), you’ve probably see a tweet or two about this:


I shot and edited the video for my multimedia storytelling class with Rich Beckman, Knight Chair in visual journalism. I got a lot of good responses and feedback* from Beckman and my classmates, but I’m still hungry for more.

What did you like? What could have been done better? Please let me know in the comments or by using this nifty contact form.

*A footnote: One of aspect that could be improved is the amount of visual variety; specifically, use fewer basketball clips and show different types of interaction. From the time the project was assigned to when it was due, there was only one opportunity to go with the class to shoot, so I only have them playing basketball.

Even though the assignment is complete, I plan to go back and shoot more footage of Rocmel interacting with his friends and classmates.
