Reminder: Deadline for Knight Digital Media Center fellowships is today!

The Knight Digital Media Center at UC Berkeley has extended the application deadline for our Web 2.0 Training for Journalists. But the deadline is today, so apply ASAP.

The Web 2.0 workshop provides participants with hands-on, newsroom-focused training on innovative publishing tools and technologies. Workshop fellows create data-driven map mash-ups, use Google publishing and data visualization tools, create SEO-smart blog posts, shoot, edit and post HD video, create publication widgets, and use Facebook and Twitter both for reporting and for driving traffic.

A major component of the intense 12-hour daily schedule is engaging in discussions lead by national leaders in journalism, technology, business, and newsroom innovation. Participants leave with new tools for reporting and with new insights on how to serve new and emerging audiences.

Fellowships for those selected to take part in the workshops cover all food and lodging for the week, the only thing not covered is travel to Berkeley, California; which is to be paid by the applicant’s news organization.

If you are interested in this opportunity, go here.
