The man with seven hats

He says that he is an accidental editor but native Iowa photojournalist Scott Norris is a born leader. 15-years ago Norris left his home state of Iowa to work for Gannett’s original flagship paper, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, in upstate New York as the assistant photo editor. 800 miles from Iowa City and 15 years later he is now the historic newspaper’s Consumer Experience Director. In this week’s Talking Pictures Podcast Todd M sits down with his old friend to discuss the changes in the way newspapers deliver the news to their customers. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle is on the cutting end of digital news delivery and a world away from the world ToddM and Scott worked in back in Iowa City in the 1980’s.

Om Podcasten

Photojournalism on the radio...sort of. The photography centric podcast is hosted by veteran photojournalist Todd Mizener with help from fellow photogs Todd Welvaert and Meg McLaughlin. Our goal is to both entertain and inform with our personal experiences or via interviews with a wide variety of guests. Mizener is the former Director of Photography for the Dispatch/Argus, a mid-sized daily newspaper, located in western Illinois along the banks of the Mississippi River in Moline, Ill. He is currently the Marketing & Communications Director for the D/A and Quad-City Times. We all get asked questions about our jobs and the podcast lets us answer some of those questions. It also affords us the opportunity to connect with readers, aspiring photographers, and learn a thing or two from our guests. The podcast is also an extension of our historically strong intern teaching program.
