Multimedia Journalism 225


For the first time ever at SFCC, a multimedia based journalism class is being offered. The idea of the class is to take our knowledge of good storytelling and implement multimedia aspects.

By looking at any major newspaper around this country, it is easy to tell that this form of storytelling is not only becoming increasingly popular, but anyone who knows how to do it, can get a job.

So, for the classes first assignment, we were given one week to do an audio-only, single source, non-narrated, no ambient or artificial noise profile piece.

Let me just lay this out there... This was one of the more difficult assignments I have ever done. Unlike a print story, there is no narrative or artwork to carry the story. I cannot write my way out of a bad quote. What I recorded is what I had to work with.

Here is the link to the piece, let me know what you think. The profile is on Sara Edlin, Drama teacher and play director at SFCC.
