Almost all journalism job descriptions these days require some level of
multimedia experience. In this class students will continue to develop
their online writing skills through blogging while at the same time learning
how to create packages and tell stories with audio and video. This class
will focus on ways to merge the traditional methods of storytelling and
present them on the Web. Students will learn what makes for good Web
presentations and will be introduced to tools to help them with editing
photos, video and audio. Students will enhance their skills in what makes
for a good web link and a good web headline and will discuss the business
and ethical implications of publishing online.
