On backpack journalism

clipped from www.poynter.org WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2008 Lessons from a Backpack Journalist Lynn French, quite plainly, is one of my favorite people. Not just one of my favorite photographers or favorite journalists, but one of the best people I know period. She is assistant chief photographer/multimedia journalist at KPNX-TV in Phoenix and often works alone as a backpack journalist. When I led a backpack journalism seminar last spring at Poynter, of course I invited Lynn to come and help teach it.
