Emmy Award-Winning Digital Storyteller
Coming to Campus
Friends of the Lehigh University Libraries welcomes renowned
digital storyteller Brian Storm on November 10th
4:10 pm at Lamberton Hall Great Room. Brian Storm is founder and
executive producer of the Emmy award-winning multimedia
production studio
MediaStorm.
Storm will
present on how storytelling continues to evolve as a result
of technological innovations and an expanding media
universe. The digital age gives filmmakers, documentary
photographers and photojournalists extraordinary and
unprecedented new ways to tell stories.
Prior to launching MediaStorm in 2005, Storm spent two years
as vice president of News, Multimedia & Assignment Services
for Corbis, a digital media agency founded and owned by Bill
Gates. From 1995 to 2002, Storm was the first director of
multimedia at MSNBC.com, a joint venture of Microsoft and
NBC News, where he was responsible for the audio,
photography and video elements of the site.
In October
of 1998, he created MSNBC's The Week in Pictures to showcase
visual journalism in new media, a forerunner of the
photography galleries that have become a standard offering
of all major content sites today.
MediaStorm publishes diverse narratives on the human
condition, offers advanced multimedia training seminars and
collaborates with a diverse group of clients ranging from
international corporations to individual photojournalists
and artists.
MediaStorm’s stories and interactive applications have
received numerous honors, including five Webby Awards, three
Emmys, five Online Journalism Awards and the first-ever
duPont Award for a Web-based production.
Brian Storm’s visit is co-sponsored by the
Office of Faculty Development, the
Department of Journalism and Communication, and
The Lehigh Lab.
