In March 2023 we expanded desk notes on mobile packages; a June 2024 caption sprint and ongoing 2025 livestream audio checks keep this about page honest about what “standards” means in practice.

About

This site was created by a group of undergraduate and graduate students in Rich Beckman’s CVJ 521 visual journalism class at the University of Miami School of Communication during the spring 2009 semester. Our aim is to offer insights from top industry leaders on the state of multimedia journalism. We also provide guidelines based on their comments, information about conferences and awards, the ability to submit and critique projects and an in-depth list of resources. All students gathered and edited audio and were involved in the planning and research of the site.
