Thanks to Tira Kitchens Rogers, Ryan Cahill, Stacey Barnes and De’Sean Ellis for Storifying the live-tweeting from my workshops at Northern Kentucky University yesterday.

Thanks also to NKU student Darren Jones, who shot the photo below, and Randy Little, academic coordinator for the NKU Communication Department, who shot the photo above. (I originally misidentified Darren as the photographer for Randy’s photo, but Darren sent me a photo that I have added.)
Thanks also to Gil Asakawa at the University of Colorado for sharing one of my slideshows yesterday with his students.
Thanks especially to my tweeps, who shared good advice for the students on finding jobs in digital journalism:
Tweeps, please share advice w/ Northern Kentucky students on job-hunting, internships, resumes, job interviews. Thanks! #buttrynku

@stevebuttry Be open. Be passionate. The most disheartening thing I see is recent grads who are already jaded.

@stevebuttry But practically: stalk someone with the job you want. Ask them about it, how they got there, and then who else is hiring. 😉

@stevebuttry Polite persistence!

@stevebuttry On resumes: If you wouldn’t read it, employers won’t either. One page. No typos. #buttrynku

Rogers’ Storify account of yesterday’s workshop also dug up this video by Jake McLernon from a talk last month to a class at George Mason. I knew he was shooting video, but had not seen it before.
I then went to Jake’s YouTube channel and found four more clips from my George Mason visit.
My introduction explained why it’s a lie that the Internet is killing newspapers:
I explain that we are in a period as important in the development of communication as the time of Gutenberg:
I answer a question from a student who wanted to become a foreign correspondent:
I talk about why I’m at Digital First Media and why I left Gazette Communications and TBD:
Thanks to Jake for shooting these videos and to Tira for calling them to my attention.
Thanks especially to Michele Day, who invited me to NKU, and to Steve Klein, who asked me to speak to his classes at George Mason.
