The Individual Project
This is your opportunity to apply ALL the skills you have learned this interim. My expectations are high. Work hard, do well.
The individual project is due at the end of class on Monday January 25th. All materials should be posted to your online news website by then. This deadline is hard and fast!
Your news audience is the Twin Cities.
Here are the required elements:
1. Your feature story that you began on Thursday, Jan. 21st (with quotes from at least two different individuals).
2. Local, state, national and international stories based on what is newsworthy the morning of Jan. 25th.
3. One of these stories should have a shell of related stories (the shell stories should be links to already existing news stories from the Internet).
4. Pictures, links, marginalia related to your stories.
5. Completed website layout/design.
Some of these elements can be worked on now, some can't until the morning of the 25th.
There is no pitch meeting on Jan. 25. Class time is work time from 8am until 10:45am. I will be in the classroom to address any questions or technical issues.
