Intro to Digital Journalism
In this course, I am currently learning how to create journalistic content on various platforms, and determining which platform is the best way to present a story to the public. I am gaining skills in writing for print versus online, creating audio stories, creating photographic stories and a combination of all of the above to make a "multimedia package."
I have created a blog for the class titled, Reality Via Rachael, in which I post various entries as well as the projects I complete for the class. Click here to view the blog.
Audio Story
For our first project, we were to create an audio story featuring a person on Central's campus. We had to complete an interview with the person we chose as well as record "natural sounds." My group and I did a story on one of Central's star women's basketball players, Cassie Breen. We focused on the challenges and rewards of being both a college student and student athlete. Our natural sounds come from a basketball game Cassie played in, in February 2017. Click the image below to listen to the audio story.
