Studio 55’s daily workflow
January 29, 2007
This particular blog is a ton of fun to post for two reasons:
No. 1 — It means I’m finally done with writing these monstrously long posts about Studio 55; and …
No. 2 — Earlier today, I received an e-mail from a friend at the Naples Daily News telling me that Studio 55 had won a national Digital Edge award for best multimedia storytelling at the annual Newspaper Association of America conference!
So, let’s get this thing started (and please forgive any typos or other goofs) …

Just like I’ve tried to note before, this is how Studio 55 was put together …
The equipment used for Studio 55
January 27, 2007
Before I even get started with this post, I have to mention that when I initially compiled this list, I got tons of invaluable help from Nick Hollensbe, who is the video-editing and motion-graphics guru at the Naples Daily News.
Ever since I started this blog series, I’ve been wondering how to post this list of equipment, because there’s a ton of it.
As I was putting it together, I thought about trying to provide product links, etc…, (and I may go back and add them) — but to be honest, just pulling this thing together definitely wore out this …
What were the ideas and thoughts behind Studio 55?
January 24, 2007
Months before we started working at the Naples Daily News (heck, well before anyone at Scripps had even talked to me about possibly coming to Florida), the publisher there — John Fish — really wanted to do a daily online newscast.
The working title for this project was “10@4,” which meant 10 minutes of local news at 4 p.m. each day. There was even a prototype of this newscast shot long before our team had arrived in Florida.
John Fish loves local video on a newspaper site.
When we worked together at The Topeka Capital-Journal back in 2000, …
Still so many questions about Naples’ Studio 55
January 22, 2007
When I left the Lawrence Journal-World to go work at Scripps’ Naples Daily News, I thought I would be there for a minimum of three years, and likely more. I was reuniting with a publisher, John Fish, who I had a great past with while I was in Topeka, and I like and really respect the heck out of Scripps new media boss Bob Benz.
Plus, Naples is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet, even if there are a lot of things there that can eat you.
And to say that we had “buy-in” from the …
Interview with Italian newspaper
January 18, 2007
This morning, I’ve been receiving e-mail from folks in Italy, which I think means that Corriere della Sera has now ran a story about the new-media strategies used by some U.S. newspapers. (At least that’s what I think the story is about. I haven’t seen it, but even if I had, I can’t read Italian.)
Since I did the interview with Alessandra Farkas, a New York-based correspondent for the Italian newspaper, I’ve been told by a couple of my colleagues and friends that Corriere della Sera is a really great European newspaper. In the reporter’s note to me, Farkas said …
