First, read the latest blog posts, including those from the latest practice story assignments. Next, we need to read Ch. 12 and 13 (p.253-284) in Reporting For The Media, 11th Edition, by Monday morning.
Also, we need to read two downloads: The Reporters' Guide To Multimedia Proficiency (p. 1-42), and Journalism 2.0 (p. 1-128) by Tuesday morning.
You can get free printable downloads of each right here by clicking on the following links: first, here is The Reporters' Guide To Multimedia Proficiency. Next, here is Journalism 2.0.
Plus, please set up FREE accounts at YouTube.com, blogger.com and twitter.com for use in class by no later than Tuesday morning. You may use personal social media accounts, but please be aware that if you do, I will see your personal content and your friends will see your class content. If this is a problem, please set up class-only accounts as needed.
Also, please make sure these accounts are set so they are open to the public.
And, please make sure that you have some sort of video recording device (for many of you, a recent-model smart phone should suffice) and an editing program on a desktop or laptop (iMovie or some comparable program is A-OK) that is ready to be used as soon as Monday afternoon.
Is something afoot? You bet.
For our practice exercises, we will be moving away from traditional writing for print, and moving toward story-telling by video, via social media and using a more multi-dimensional Web format. So, basically we're done with written practice stories; writing will focus on the out-of-class stories, and we'll move on to practice videos and online stories and social media streams before moving on to out-of-class story versions of those mediums.
I think the change of pace will be fun for this class, so don't worry and do get ready to try some new stuff.
Plus, don't forget your first out-of-class story rewrite is due by 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26 to omars@msu.edu. Please see earlier homework blog posts for details.
Have a nice weekend, everybody!
