The Individual Project
Create a news website (traditional or way new - make sure its "real" news and not parody) aimed at the Bethel Community.
The news focus should be on:
Online Journalism and Bethel (and the larger American Society)
approaches could include (but are not limited to):
how people obtain news (especially in relation to online journalism)
trends in the use of online journalism
resources available
differences among students, faculty, staff
what news information is important to the Bethel Community
what people are saying about journalism/online journalism
(do they even know what online journalism is or what newsblogs are?!)
The main story should probably focus on how much of an impact the dissemination of news through online means has on us at Bethel.
Related stories can link to outside resources (but shouldn't overwhelm your original content)
Post to your webbsite address (the one that connects from the link below).
Due on friday January 21st at 2pm. We will meet in class at that time.
For grading purposes:
I'm looking at content first, application of class principles second. I will not focus on the "bells and whistles" of web design, only the basics.
