case study "The Backpack Journalism Project not only gives our students the opportunity to travel to unfamiliar locales and meet people from all walks of life, but it allows them to highlight some of the life-changing work the volunteer groups do in thirdworld countries." Marvin Marcello, General Manager and Associate Professor, Murrow Symposium, Washington State University Journalism and Media Production major, were given Sony cameras and laptop computers to capture, edit, and post their work. With a successful backpack program underway, WSU needed to purchase gear that would allow their students to shoot, capture, and edit on the go. The original backpack concept was revisited and in late 2012, the Sony Video Journalism Backpack was born. The Sony Systems Solution group worked with WSU to design the all-in-one kit to meet the school's needs, and WSU purchased 20 of the kits to support their growing program. The all-in-one VJBK1TVV kit comes equipped with an HXR-NX30U NXCAM® compact professional recorder, wireless UWP-V1 mic system, F-112 handheld mic, and MDR-7506 pro headphones; tripod; LED video light; Sony's Xperia™ tablet for playback clips or teleprompting; Vegas Pro® Editing Software; a Sony VAIO® laptop; and cables and accessories.There are also versions of the backpack that include the PMW-100 or the PMW-200 XDCAM® cameras and pack that include a VAIO laptop and ones that do not include the laptop. To help students get acquainted with the backpack, Sony has created a series of training videos, which can be found at pro.sony.com/bbsc/video/collectionsjournalist_backpack.
