Congrats to our first Allaboutthestory.com Media Scholar
We’re pleased to announce that NZ journalism graduate Natasha Turfrey is our first Allaboutthestory.com Media Scholar.
Natasha, who has recently graduated with a post-grad Diploma in Journalism from the University of Canterbury, will be joining the allaboutthestory.com crew in attending the Webstock conference in Wellington later this month, then attending the WordCamp conference and the Onyas web awards.
Webstock is a highly regarded and well-loved web conference with speakers this year including co-founder of The Pirate Bay Peter Sunde, performance artist Amanda Palmer, co-founder of Tumblr and founder of Instapaper Marco Arment, data journalist David McCandless, cartoonist Scott McCloud, Ruby on Rails luminary (and allaboutthestory.com co-founder) Michael Koziarski and web designer Jason Santa Maria.
WordCamp brings together people who use WordPress in interesting ways – whether journalists striking out on their own, newspapers, blogs or businesses. Speakers this year include me, Kiwiblogger David Farrar, John Ford from Automattic, the company behind WordPress, and panellists Richard MacManus from ReadWriteWeb and Lance Wiggs. You can see the line-up here.
The Onyas reward the best websites in New Zealand.
That represents a lot of opportunities for Natasha to meet some people at the cutting edge of web development, fill her contact book and notch up a couple of great interviews. We’re really pleased to be able to help someone who is just starting out in their career. Congratulations!
We’d like to thank everyone who entered and we’re sorry we can’t send everyone to Webstock. Maybe next year:)
