DIGITAL JOURNALISM 101 By Anna Young
What is Multimedia Journalism? Journalism is about people, not technology. . But the tools have never been better. What is the main purpose of newspapers (print media)? - TV? -Radio? The Web allows to break boundaries And provides audience 247
What is Multimedia Journalism? The best multimedia stories are multi-dimensional. They include: - action for video, - a process that can be illustrated with a graphic (e.g., "how tornadoes form" or "how this new surgery works"), - strong quotes for video or audio, - and/or powerful emotions for still photos and audio. Use the strengths of each medium to tell the story in a way that draws in readers.
Nonlinear, not redundant Nonlinear - rather than reading a rigidly structured single narrative, the user chooses how to navigate through the elements of a story. Not redundant means that rather than having a text version of a story accompanied by a video clip that essentially tells the same story, different parts of a story are told using different media. The key is using the media form video, audio, photos, text, animation that will present a segment of a story in the most compelling and informative way.
Context and Continuity This could include everything from databases, timelines, Infoboxes, lists of related stories, links to other resources, online forums.
