Welcome!

I am Paul-Christian Britz aka @pcbritz.

If you came here, you probably liked my pictures (or I told you to check out my resume), which means you already know that I am an aspiring photo- and multimedia journalist ;) .

If you are here for the resume, search no further: Britz_Resume_January_2012_English.
Want to know just a little bit more about me? Keep reading along :)

Journalism
I  recently completed my MA in American Studies, Political Science and Film Studies at the University of Mainz, Germany (November 2011).

My thesis (“After the Death of Journalism in the US: Reinventing Reporting on the Web”) is an analysis of the changing practices within investigative journalism in the US. I also surveyed the influence of online culture on investigative journalism produced by “mainstream media” such as the Washington Post (which appeared to adapt rather quickly in the changing landscape) and the New York Times (which didn’t fare so well in the analysis).
Contact me, if you would like to read the paper. For a German summary, click HERE.

With many journalistic internships and jobs, the direction I am heading is clear: Multimedia and Online-Journalism with a stress on internationality/bilingual work and visual journalism.

But for now: I am free! ;)

What I’m up to:

I am currently packing my bags to travel Southeast Asia, Latin America and a couple of stops in between. Pictures from my travels will regularly show up on this site ( so don’t forget to subscribe) and on my blog: http://pcbritz.wordpress.com - Feel free to leave comments on the images on let me know what you liked.

My plan is currently to return to Europe in January/February 2013 and get a cool job in a young and modern journalism environment, ideally an environment where I can apply my language, multimedia and online skills. However, if you would like to point me to an alternative, please feel free – the future is not set in stone :)

Find me Elsewhere:

If you care to find me on other places online, you can find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and if you want all my updates, find me on FriendFeed.

Also check out Campus Mainz – a project I have been working on with friends at the University of Mainz since early 2011. We are creating a web portal to channel all relevant student-related information in one place to make it easier to access all the different services like housing, job search, news, calendar and events as well as other cool features unique to the site.
