MCOM 226:

In this class you will  begin to produce and tell stories using various media platforms. As a foundation for this, I want you to begin by evaluating and writing print stories for the web. For Wednesday: Visit at least three news sites and examine how they present various stories -- look for photos, slideshows, audio, video, maps, graphics and print. Find an example of each kind and write a one-page report identifying the sites you visited, along with a critique of each kind of element I have named above. For example, you might note that the Charlotte Observer ran a map of a crime scene; describe the map and how effective it was. Do the same for different stories using different multimedia elements.
