Blog critique
Go out on the World Wide Web and find a blog. Any blog will do, but I would encourage you to avoid the super-popular ones. Technorati.com can help guide you to blogs on any topic.
I used it to find a blog about chickens!
In your critique, please tell us:
what you like and dislike about the blog;
how often it is updated (avoid "dead" blogs);
whether the Comments indicate anyone is reading it;
what media elements beyond text it uses.
Post your critique here as a Comment.
The other bit of homework is to read Chapter 5 in Journalism 2.0.

A study says 8 to 18-year-olds spend more time with digital media than their parents spend at work.

Multimedia assignment
Due Thursday:
Read Chaps 1-4 in "Journalism 2.0" and then find two examples of multimedia online.
Click the "Comment" link at the bottom of this entry. Post the URLs and write a note explaining what you liked or disliked about the examples you chose.
Here are mine:
http://www1.voanews.com/english/video-audio/nowuknow/
Voice of America is the U.S. government's external broadcasting arm. For years and years, it was happy to confine itself to radio. To stay relevant today, it is jumping into television and the Internet in a big way. What I like about this example: a TV host talks about the Large Hadron Collider -- and you can read a text about it on the right.
http://www.spiegel.de/video/video-1042076.html
Spiegel is Germany's most influential newsweekly. For some time now, it has produced a brief newscast on its Web page. What I don't like: the newscast used to use anchors, but doesn't any more. Hmmm. Budget cuts?

Final prep, finally
Final prep:
What does the author mean when he says:
“The fact is, if you work in journalism, you work for an online news organization – whether you want to or not.”
“News is a conversation, not a lecture.”

How would you write a story differently for the Web and for a newspaper?
