Final prep:

“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.”

Final Project Guidelines

For the final multimedia project in the class, please choose one (or more) of the forms we have worked on during the semester and tell a fresh story.

You may work in teams or solo.

The only form that is off-limits is the blog. You already have one of those.

You may create an interactive map, a podcast, a slideshow, an audio slideshow, or a video project.

Rules:
The interactive map, the podcast and the slideshow require a written component.
The audio slideshow and the video project do not require a written component.
Otherwise, follow the directions from the original projects.

Combining two multimedia forms will send your score into the stratosphere.
Examples: a podcast, slideshow or video that plays out of an interactive map;
A video that combines still and moving pictures.

Deadlines:
Tuesday, April 28: Post a description of your project on your blog.
Thursday, May 7: Project is due at the start of class -- we will present as many as we have time for. (This supercedes the class schedule.)
