About

Brandon Carpenter

Laid back easy going dude that loves his wife, family and God. I enjoy twangtastic ya’llternative music, clicking the shutterbug, and surfing the hi-waves of technology.

I am on an amazing journey through life and love with a wonderful family and wife.

I am a freelance journalist, currently, writing for newspapers, magazines or blogs. I am timely, accurate, create and convergent with my journalism.

With expected major changes in journalism and the media today, it is important to be well-versed in technology. It also helps to be adaptable to the changing media environment. Convergent journalism is a variety of skills and media types to make a well rounded journalist.

While traditional routes of journalism go through print, the convergent journalist will expand beyond print into online and new media production.

The convergent journalist will take on social responsibilities and ethical frameworks, repurposing material across different media forms, intellectual property, privacy issues beyond Shield Laws. They will also employ online newsroom management, contemporary news interfaces, including blogging, micro-blogging, and cross new media forms.
