In some ways I'm a purist. While the term has come to mean many things to many people, it's not the same to all. For me, multimedia always meant what it said - 'many media'. And I put myself out there as skilled in multimedia because I was - I wrote and photographed for newspapers and magazine, I produced and presented radio documentaries and interviewed people on air, and received a CNN award for my TV production. In doing all of that, at different and sometimes simultaneous times in my career - working in the editorial and corporate / marketing worlds - I came to learn about not only pure Storytelling, but also about strategies, audience needs and preferences and how to work as part of a team.

The term multimedia specialist come into the limelight in the early 80s, the period of technological boom of Jobs & Gate because of the needs of developers who have high taste and understanding of designs, storytelling, media distribution, adverts and be able to led or guide research and development team. Which at point the term is more of consultancy term. And many contradicts the term with media producer or creative director
