This week's e-Comm student
Blog Of the Week belongs to
Isabel Lauby.
This post in particular is a shining example of a semester reflection -
thoughtful content with links and media, well-written and formatted:
Saying Goodbye to First Semester.
Nice work, Isabel!
Isabel is participating in the
Convergence Journalism focus. Sometimes students aren't too sure what Convergence Journalism is.... Read on!
Convergence Journalism
students easily get more frequent public viewing of their work than any
of our other students! In this hybrid focus they blend video
broadcasting and written journalism, using Web and social media
platforms. They write stories and conduct interviews, shoot and edit
photos and video, post updates on Twitter, and publish this
convergence of
media on our websites, where it is available to students, parents and
the wider public - faster than ever before. Among other things, they
learn camera use, lighting, sound, editing, and script writing.
Convergence Journalism has their own website,
Raven Daily, and weekly broadcast,
ONW NOW. Much of the content from those two sources also feeds our other ONW websites,
where it is viewed daily by several hundred people.
Convergence Journalism students are the reason that our websites are constantly updated with timely and interesting stories!
Some of our Convergence students go on to participate in well-regarded college programs like those at
KU and
MU.
If you have questions about our Convergence Journalism focus, please ask
Mr. Court Allam.
