Scott Peterson from “ The Monitor” visited us and he spoke to us about multimedia reporting.He spoke about ways to get people online (and getting them to read your website).
He is working on a project about a foster family who has adopted a child living with HIV/AIDS.
Jeanne Davies (from online media) spoke to us about how to set up blogs for the Jukskei (in-depth reporting) project.
The title of the blog is Cry the beloved river.
As four groups we were each given websites to critique.This was aimed to help us to design a suitable website for our project.Each group was given about three sites to assess.
Certain criteria was used : Which sites were relatively user friendly and attractive.The use of multimedia(audio and video quality),links, and the power of the internet(time to download).The strengths and weaknesses and if there were weaknesses how could they be improved.
Overall the common favorites were University of North Carolina’s site (www.andamanrising.org/) ,the Pulitzer center’s live with hope story (www.livehopelove.com/) and although our group thought that the mediastorm(www.mediastorm.com)site was just too busy, members of the class found some aspects that could help in our website.(like the techno effects).
