I have some thoughts about ways for you to go. so thrilled by this. comes at a perfect time in your professional development. you won’t be perfect, but you will be perfectly amazing.

some things for you to think about….

storytelling still attains…and that means characters and import, but also editing and writing.

viral is as viral does. it can’t be gamed, but it can be sought.

you are standing there as a kid in brooklyn who has trouble figuring out how to put together a bed from ikea, but figuring things out as you go is a plenty good way to go when the media business is reconfiguring itself.

the loss of legacy business model has been brutal for people who worked in it, but the absence of friction is profound. dad’s first big story at 24 was seen by 30K, erin’s 10M. see attached slide

there are many platforms and many are important. there is where you work, there is reddit, there is twitter, there is YouTube. they all infect each other.

you are more influential than you think. by citing the great work of others in your social media feed, when it comes time to pimp your own stuff, you have credibility

sharing credit and sharing duties matters. great work comes from the spaces in between people. sitting alone in your room talking to a web cam or hitting the streets by yourself rarely yields excellence.

ppls want to see ppls talking to ppls. social medium desires social media. one where people are interacting.

not all the values of television are worthless. 70 year legacy has yielded some best practices.

sound matters, desperately especially on small platforms. people see stories with their ears.

short form requires guidance. you can’t get people through a lot of stuff in a short amount of time without installing some signage.

we are in a great epoch of documentary film. many of the most important stories, the one that shake the world, often come from documentaries. cite examples.

what is beautiful on your television is not what is beautiful online. authenticity and verisimilitude are beautiful, not good hair and big heads.

the intimacy of the medium often requires more intimate, less distant shooting. we want to be near, we want to almost be in the picture.

you are not an intrinsically interesting subject. journalism, and that’s what it is, requires you to leave your place of work or residence, go out and find more interesting than you and then come back and tell your audience about this person, place or thing.

hope this helps
