I think NTEN is a terrific example of the rule of thirds. The key skill is pattern analysis and of course, using what you find to inform decisions or actions. You can also share the impact of your organization's programs through podcasts, sharing photos on Flickr, or videos on YouTube or other video sharing sites.
