We had a blast at ONACamp at NABJ12 last week. ONACamps bring in top trainers from around the country to teach digital journalism skills and we spent the day in New Orleans marveling at the hottest tools.
Participant Jason Williams wrote on the Huffington Post that his mind was “sufficiently blown after sitting through six plus hours of journalism innovations and best practices.”
Our friends at NABJ Digital created a number of Storify posts on NABJ12, full of helpful tips and resources. Here are links to the ONACamp sessions:
