The Greene program started off with a bang when Stephanie Brumsey talked to the team about her road to being a producer. The humor and motivation that Brumsey brought to the table was a great start to my day.
After she left the call, we moved on to grasp a general understanding of how to pull readers into an article with the usage of a proper lede. Brumsey’s talk and learning to frame an article were both fun segments of the day, however, my favorite part was learning how to put together and use a Padcaster. We were lucky enough to have the founder of Padcaster, Josh Apter, join us and explain the general uses of the device.
Toward the end of today’s session, we broke out into different groups to converse about splitting responsibilities in developing our own stories. My team will be working on a story titled “Pandemic Pets.” Overall, I believe today set a standard for the rest of the week that needs to be kept. It was a great start to the Greene Week. 🙂
