Training

University of Florida’s National Press Photographers Association is excited to announce our first meeting of the Spring Semester. We will be hearing from Ting Shen and Amanda Andrade-Rhoades about their experiences photographing the Capitol Hill riot.

Why read the manual when we can do it for you? In this exciting new webinar series, the National Press Photographers Association announces they are working with the best camera makers in the world to get all the hot new gear into the hands of their network of trusted professionals.

George Floyd’s death was shocking to the world. Covering the unfolding story, as well the outrage and unrest surrounding it, was a challenge for both journalists and the newsrooms involved. There were several instances where journalists were tear gassed, arrested or injured while just trying to do their jobs. With the trial of the former Minneapolis Police Department officer at the center of George Floyd’s death beginning March 8, the National Press Photographers Association is here to offer supplementary preparation techniques for journalists covering both the trial and reaction around the nation. Our training session, “Covering the Unrest” is a chance for journalists and news organizations to prepare for what could come next in Minneapolis and beyond. Given all the events of the past year, the NPPA’s goal in this session is to help members learn general situational awareness as well as other safety techniques for an increasingly dangerous era for journalists.

Together, we can change the world, one story at a time. The program is designed for experienced TV and newspaper photojournalists, reporters and video journalists – anyone who tells stories with moving pictures, sound and words. If you attended the Oklahoma News Video Workshop, we pick up where they leave off.

The next Multimedia Immersion will take place in Syracuse NY on May 12-16, 2020. It is an intense, five-day, hands-on training workshop for visual journalists looking to expand and grow their multimedia skill-sets using the latest technology. Registration begins in January, 2020.

The News Video Workshop builds the fundamental skills you need to tell strong, clear, and compelling video news stories. A week of intense learning and powerful critiques will change how you approach, gather, edit, write and present your work.

NPPA’s Women in Visual Journalism Conference is returning for its 6th year since it’s revival in 2015. The conference is scheduled for September 19-20 and will be a online event.
