  1. What’s happening in the news?

  2. Exam Questions?

  3. Rawporter –upload and store video/photos for journalists and broadcasters to use • “History of Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada,” By the Las Vegas Sun; • Storify –curating social media and journalism • Storycorps – online recorded stories • ThingLink –photos with links to other information • Reddit New Media

  5. What are you writing about? • Who is your audience? • What’s new about this topic? • How are you going to tell your story? • Format • Length • style • Elements of Journalism • Ex: Conference on World Affairs Coming Up with story ideas

  6. This project will bring together several elements discussed in class throughout the semester. You and your assigned group will come up with a story idea about 4/20 in Boulder this spring. You will present in recitation your idea. Basically, you will be doing a story pitch. • What you will need to include in your presentation: • An ORIGINAL story idea about 4/20, 2013. You need to come up with something fresh, a new approach to take on covering 4/20 in Boulder this year. • Discuss how your story is ethical. What ethical philosophy would you follow when covering this story? Under what theory could the story be run? Explain why you chose that ethical philosophy. Identify the various stakeholders and address whether and how their concerns will be considered. • The details of your story. What will you discuss in the story? When will you do it? Is it a long, in-depth piece or something shorter and timely? Who will you need to interview? What data do you need to collect? What else do you need? Plan out how you are going to write/create your story. Identify, specifically, potential obstacles and how you plan to work around them. • Your story MUST be told using new media that Steve Outing talked about in lecture or another form of new, alternative structure storytelling. Explain what the new media is, why you chose it, and why it is a better option than a traditional, written story. Final Project

  7. Your presentation should be 6-8 minutes long and should include some type of visual, whether you use PowerPoint, Prezi, or even the “new media” you would use for your story idea, etc. • Email me your presentation by Thursday night, 4/18 • You need to dress up for your presentation. Wear business casual clothes (NO jeans, t-shirts, miniskirts, leggings, short shorts, sweatpants or sweatshirts). Imagine you are at a real newsroom pitching your idea to the publication. I’m the editor. What would you wear to that? • Bonus: If your group feels so inclined, and follows through with the idea and has their story published (try any local publications, especially the CU Independent), you will get extra credit!
