You may be wondering how I am selecting companies to feature for our new series “Company Spotlight.” Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret: For the last six months I have been keeping track of every multimedia company I have come across on a massive Google Doc. While I will try to feature as many companies as possible, there is no way to conduct Q&A’s with all of them. Thus, I decided to publish a portion of my list for you to peruse on your own in case you are looking for an internship, a job, or sheer inspiration. Before you get discouraged by the lack of multimedia jobs in the online journalism sector, check out these companies to see if they are hiring.
Although my multimedia background is in journalism, interactive multimedia technology is present in numerous professional fields, including advertising and academia, among others. I was recently contacted by Lynn Marentette, a North Carolina school psychologist who blogs about how the use and integration of interactive media can impact the social, behavioral, and learning process. She also introduced me to NUI (Natural User Interface) group, an online community engaged in researching and constructing new HCI (human-computer interaction) solutions.
