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 presentation.
Here is an example of a previous P.A.R. multi-media project.

Today's class
In today's class, we'll begin discussing budgets. It's a good idea to review pages 171-179 about budgets in your book.
Also, we'll begin discussing the state of the industry and getting a job in journalism. It's a topic we'll also discuss at the end of the semester, too.
Lastly, I have checked in with NewsU and given 20 extra credit points for those who took the assigned NewsU class last week.
