Christopher J. Hughes, a member on the staff at the Times Leader, came to talk to us in class. He was very interesting to listen to and also helpful. I really enjoyed learning about how the Times Leader and also the Weekender use Facebook and YouTube to promote themselves. Using things like their YouTube page for singers in the area is great. It helps get the community involved and helps to get new singers out there. He also helped in giving tips to students on what types of equipment they should have if they were interested in taking video for the news. I also really got a kick out of his story about the camera not working and him using his IPhone application to do an entire news feed. I really liked having him in class to switch things up a bit. It was very helpful and I enjoyed it.

Yah i found his talent and skills interesting. From what else i notice through the questions that I have asked him, that if you are going into journalism you should also as well have a broadcast background as well its now these days you going to be able to shoot it, and then self edit and hand the package in its final form ready to roll.
