Purchase options and add-ons

Videojournalism is a new field that has grown out of traditional print photojournalism, slideshows that combine sound and pictures, public radio, documentary filmmaking and the best of television news features. This amalgam of traditions has emerged to serve the Internet's voracious appetite for video stories.

Videojournalism is written for the new generation of "backpack" journalists. The solo videojournalist must find a riveting story; gain access to charismatic characters who can tell their own tales; shoot candid clips; expertly interview the players; record clear, clean sound; write a script with pizzazz; and, finally, edit the material into a piece worthy of five minutes of a viewer's attention. Videojournalism addresses all of these challenges, and more - never losing sight of the main point: telling a great story.

This book, based on extensive interviews with professionals in the field, is for anyone learning how to master the art and craft of telling real short-form stories with words, sound and pictures for the Web or television. The opening chapters cover the foundations of multimedia storytelling, and the book progresses to the techniques required to shoot professional video, and record high quality sound and market the resulting product.

WebsiteVideojournalism also has its own website - go to just one URL --http://kobreguide.com/content/videojournalism --and find all the stories mentioned in the book. You also will find various "how-to" videos on the site. To keep up with the latest changes in the field such as new cameras, new books, new stories or editing software, check the site regularly and "like" www.facebook.com/KobreGuide.

Professor Ken Kobré has been an professional photojournalist, educator and author for more than 35 years. His former students, who include winners of the Pulitzer Prize, World Press Awards, and many other prestigious honors, work on staff and as freelancers for publications and media outlets around the world.

Most professionals working in photojouralism or videojouralism today have been influenced by his textbooks.

His book Photojournalism: The Professionals’ Approach, sixth edition, published by Focal Press, has been the widest-selling text on photojournalism in the world since 1980. His new book, Videojournalism: Multimedia Storytelling, was published in early 2012.

Both are sold on Amazon, as is his patented invention -- Professor Kobre's Lightscoop® Deluxe and Lightscoop® Junior. The Lightscoop transforms the ugly built-in flash on dSLRs and advanced compact cameras into natural-looking, pro-like light.

One of Ken's video documentaries, Deadline Every Second: On Assignment with 12 Associated Press Photojournalists (Personal/Single User Version, has appeared on PBS, and has been screened in Europe in addition to several cities in the US. DVDs for personal use and for public viewing (libraries & schools) are available here on Amazon.

He recently developed an app for the iPhone called VideoPro Camera™, which integrates professional features that transform the iPhone into a semi-professional video camera. Professor Kobré developed VideoPro Camera to enable video journalists and videographers to shoot truly professional video on their iPhones.

Ken is the founder and publisher of the KobreGuide to the Web’s Best Videojournalism as well as its companion blog, KobreChannel, which featurers thoughts, essays and reports about visual journalism.

Ken is also a co-author of the 7th and 8th editions of “Photography” (Prentice Hall) the world’s leading basic photography textbook. His other books include “How to Photograph Friends and Strangers,” published by Curtin & London.

Now in partial retirement after leading the photojournalism program at San Francisco State University since 1986, Ken is a past winner of the respected Robin F. Garland Educator Award from the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) and for four years directed the University of Missouri/NPPA Pictures of the Year Awards.

First off, the condition of the book was great! I've only gotten through the first chapters of this book, but so good so far. It's a required text book for class, so don't have much to say. It does give you great examples of video stories, which I truly enjoy. It's also easy to understand.

I found this book was everything I was looking for. The explanations were clear and most helpful. Its not easy to find quality info on this subject. I balked at the price initially, but after reading the book and learning so much, I'm pleased I made the purchase.
