About the instructor: Lauren Hertel

I teach multimedia journalism to broadcast students at the University of Florida.  As an online editor in California, I developed a model four-month multimedia training program for the community news group of Dow Jones and I continue to do a lot of consulting and traveling for the U.S. State Department. 

I holds graduate degrees in Journalism and City & Regional Planning from the University of California at Berkeley. 

I've had some fun and exciting experiences as a journalist, including a summer I spent interning with the United States Army in the Mojave Desert. You can read more about that and more in my full bio online.

Many of you will see that I am on Facebook, LinkedIn, del.icio.us, Flickr, and a number of other social networking sites.  You are welcome to look at my public content on these sites, but please do not try to contact me through them. Thanks!
