Final project reminder
Hello. This is the same as the earlier post on the final project:
Final project
Public Affairs Reporting
Final Reporting & Multi-Media Project (including multi-media)
You have two options for your final project:
(1) take one of your earlier 100-point stories and make a significant revision and
add a sidebar. Additional reporting should be done. Turn in the original story if you choose this option.
(2) Report and write up a new PAR, 100-point-style story that includes at least three sources.
In addition to your print story, include at least two additional story-telling elements: pictures, poll, graph, audio, video, a map, or a timeline. We will go over these elements in class. These additional elements should add to the storytelling and be handed in through a blog that we will develop in class. You will be evaluated on how well multi-media add to the storytelling.
Deadline: April 23rd in class at the conclusion of the in-class presentation.

Hello. Just a reminder that today's PAR class is a work session for your final multi-media projects.
I am leaving on a research trip this afternoon to go through the papers of journalist Molly Ivins at the University of Texas, Austin and will return on Sunday. I will check my email irregularly during this time period. I will respond on lengthy questions on Monday.
Remember that you can earn up to 20 extra credit points by attending J-Day this Saturday. (You can earn 10 points per workshop attended. Be sure to sign in.)
