Gain free hands-on multimedia skills at Digital Media Skills Clinic

June 19, 2019

Special thanks to WFLA Rod Carter, News Channel 8 anchor, for visiting John Hopkins Middle School and sharing his journalistic expertise. Carter spoke about his career and provided some great interviewing tips. His visit was part of the Digital Media Skills Clinic which is open to all Pinellas County middle and high school students.

The goal of this free media skills clinic is to push students’ design, writing, photography, leadership, web and multimedia skills to the limit with hands-on instruction. This is also an opportunity to improve a student’s knowledge and skill level in digital cameras, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, InDesign, writing for the web and more. Participants get to interview real people and to tell their story in a compelling multimedia format. The training is designed to give scholars a well-rounded understanding of digital media and marketing. Each session will be presented by local media professionals.
