Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Gralnick
For the upcoming ENW350 Digital Writing class at Fairfield University, Jeff Gralnick will be the guest lecturer in the hopes of sharing his wealth of knowledge of digital media with the class.
Gralnick is the special Special Consultant for Internet and New Technology at NBC News. Previously an employee of both ABC and CBS news, he now works primarily for NBC news and NBCnews.com. With over 47 years of experience in the news business, his insights and wisdom will help shine some light on both print and internet news questions the students may have. He has seen everythiing from the first man space flight to being a special reporter for the Vietnam war. Hopefully, a class full of college students should not be too hard to handle.
With regards to potential questions, I have some that I believe will not only help me, but the class as well.
A. Can you describe how your work day now differs from your initial years of working for a news source with regards to the use of technology?
B. Is NBC news ahead of behind of the curve with regards to technology?
C. Has technology brought about any negative effects on professional journalism?
D. What is the most important technological innovation, in your opinion, for journalism?
