All digital products will be published on FIT Media’s website, social media channels like Facebook and YouTube, as well as professional outlets like West Virginia Public Broadcasting and The Fayette Tribune.
Instructor Keith Doherty
Mr. Doherty’s career has been a hybrid of producing digital content and showing others the path to creating their own. As a freelancer and a producer at a boutique digital agency for over fifteen years, he’s had the opportunity to take on extensive multimedia projects and numerous job roles for a wide-range of clients.
This experience has served as the framework for his Multimedia Publishing program. As an English teacher in Fayette County, Mr. Doherty saw the need for a program that would develop relevant digital skills for students as they entered the workforce.
Using his connections within the creative field and professional organizations around the state, FIT Media students will be immersed in creating content for county schools, local organizations, newspapers, radio stations, and mainstream businesses. Every piece of content produced by FIT Media goes live for the world to see.
