MEMPHIS, TN (March 11, 2010) – Jason Reed, a globe trotting Reuter’s photographer, describes The Kalish visual editing workshop as “much more than just a workshop for picture editors.”
"It’s for anyone that’s in the communication industry right now,” Reed, who attended the 2009 workshop, says.
Over the past 20 years, The Kalish has developed a reputation for being unique, intense, stimulating and fun. And more, according to Reed. “It’s highly effective. The inspiration and camaraderie and the instruction that I’ve been given is mind-blowing because now I am not daunted about this big wide future that is so uncertain to so many people.”
The Kalish, which has evolved from teaching print-only picture editing to also teaching cross-platform skills, attracts a faculty of Emmy and Pulitzer Prize-winning visual editors including Brian Storm, Geri Migielicz, Sue Morrow, Kenny Irby, Mark Edelson, and other industry experts.
The 2010 Kalish is now accepting applications. It will be held June 4 - 8, 2010, at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. The application deadline is May 15. Details are on the Web site at www.kalishworkshop.org.
Those who graduate from the five-day workshop will be among a host of editors who have improved not only picture and multimedia editing skills, but also management and leadership skills.
