You've been encouraged to use a video camera. Learn your options.
We'll also cover some basic writing, voice, production and on-camera skills that will make your contributions easier and stronger.

Message to print journalists: please consider joining us.. even part time. If you prefer to keep writing or blogging- how about doing some supplementary video? If you’ve edited or broken a story and the TV folks want to interview you- I’ll help you prepare and participate in the interview comfortably and intelligently. And if you elect to consider ‘crossing over’ to TV or video journalism- I’ll help you transfer your skills. If you’re not sure about the move: play around with these skills in the privacy of my studio- complete discretion guaranteed. I don’t tell tales.

Paul Steiger “Joanne took a print guy without a clue how to get the most out of television appearances and taught me how to put a point across. She is fun to work with, and she delivers results.”

Paul Steiger, Managing Editor, Wall Street Journal

John Hardwood “Joanne Stevens' unique combination of head and heart is what sets her apart as a coach for those of us who appear on television. She has command of all the technical aspects of TV performance – tone, cadence, articulation. But more than that she is masterful at understanding how broadcasters connect (or don't) at the level of feeling and emotion. I can't tell you how much she has helped me in my relatively recent introduction to TV work after years writing for newspapers. She is the best.”

John Harwood, Political Writer for The New York Times and Co-Anchor of The New York Times Campaign Edition on MSNBC
