 COLLABORATINGAs the photo editor for this story about one man’s quest to save the North Atlantic right whale, my biggest challenge was editing over 9,000 images to find the best and most accurate for both the visual and text versions of the story while working closely with the reporter, story editor and multimedia project editor. "Chasing Bayla" won numerous awards and was cited for several innovations including a seamless pairing of two separate narrative arcs. |  MOBILIZING A TEAMFrom the first moments of the horrific Marathon bombing, I mobilized our small team of video journalists to head out and document, while two of us took in and edited scores of daily video taken by reporters, photographers and users. At the end of the first week we were able to step back, work with the newsroom and do more thoughtful, comprehensive storytelling. Two of the videos were part of the entry for the The Boston Globe’s Pulitzer Prize for breaking news. |  FINDING DIVERSE VOICESAs the lead multimedia editor, I wanted to find ways for the people in Bowdoin-Geneva to tell their own stories. For one feature, I selected Instagram photos from the neighborhood and a reporter interviewed them. I then edited all of the audio and worked with the designer on. We also gave cameras to some of the kids in the neighborhood and asked them to document their lives. The resulting clips showed a uniquely personal point of view that would be difficult to get through traditional reporting. |
