The philosophy of the convergence journalism at Cypress College for CyChron.Com is "All students work in all media at any time from anywhere. We've streamed our public access TV since 2002. We've perfected backpack journalism while teaching study abroad journalism classes in Prague, CZ in fall 2005. Today, we no longer cable cast from Time Warner, but Podcast from our own campus newsroom. But we have beem so frustrated by the CMS--particularly College Publisher to which CP's merger with Digital Partners forced us last spring. CP "puts your newspaper online :-(. We have to use "bailing wire and spit" to continue as a multimedia news operation currently. This article has made me aware of Ellington and I've already asked for a salesman to contact me. Is there anyone else out there that makes a real multi-media web news software? The Cypress Chronicle has had an original web news site since 1998, and has won awards every year since for it.

I've added this link to my arsenal. They STILL see the website as a electronic version of the paper and moan and groan if they HAVE to publish a web-only story due to space constraints... Thanks for the great resource Bryan (and happy belated birthday and congrats on the new job). Wow, everything's coming up Bryan this month!
