DC Media Makers is the preeminent association of journalists, entertainers, advocates, documentarians and tech enthusiasts dedicated to video blogging – and learning media literacy – in Washington, DC. We trade web video production knowledge and teach newcomers how to make and distribute media online. We feature guest presenters, critiques, and collaborative projects. Whether you are an old pro (-we have members from CNN, NBC, and NPR), an established videoblogger, or someone who wants to jump in but doesn’t know where to start, we welcome your involvement.
DC Media Makers believes peer learning is the best kind of learning, so we encourage you to participate, teach, and learn with us.
When it comes to making media, DC Media Makers' preferred MO is "have fun, learn, create, share, repeat."
So are you passionately interested in all things digital education i.e. online video, podcasts, mobile blogging, screencasting, and more?
If so - don't walk but RUN to join in.
No matter what your level of experience with digital tech or media, there's a place for you here. Share a favorite online video clip from your personal or professional portfolio or a new editing software or other production tips or a new project idea.
Bottom line: DC Media Makers is the 'big tent' for peer learning and promoting digital literacy in DC.
