I worked for six months in the newsroom at The Philadelphia Inquirer as part of a co-op program with Drexel University, helping to develop a video content strategy, training reporters and photographers on using new media devices, producing video segments, doing general story and feature production for web, and serving as a "Multimedia MacGyver"-- a person who can get whatever it is up on the web in the shortest amount of time, regardless of what type of media it originated on.
I am graduating from Drexel University in June 2008 with a Bachelors of Science in Digital Media. Although I do not have specific journalism training, I would love to get a job creating awesome online content for the Washington Post, or another Maryland/Virginia/D.C. area news outlet.
Welcome! Feel free to blog some war stories from the Inquirer newsroom. Some real-world examples pulled from your experience there could really help out folks just getting started in multimedia.
