Deadline for Resume Pushed Back One Week to Oct. 10

Class, just wanted to underscore what I said verbally in class on Monday: I'm pushing back the deadline on the Wordpress resume by one week -- so that we can do a bit more work in class next week with your Wordpress sites before the resume is due. That means now that both the resume and the first blog post will be due on Oct. 10.

The first blog post -- and the other nine -- will be analyses of the professional site you chose at the start of class. Here is the question to answer for blog 1, due Oct. 10: Introduce us to this site: Its history, audience, ownership, mission and staff. Has it radically changed direction (in content, staffing or business plans) in recent years? Please consult previously written stories and site "about us" or media kit pages, and link and attribute information appropriately.

If you get your resume copyediting tweaks done before next week, we may be able to start it on Wordpress in class.

Best, Chris Harvey

Buying a Web Hosting Account with godaddy.com

For those of you in class who have not yet taken the first steps for buying a Web hosting account through godaddy.com, please spend about 45 minutes this weekend following the steps below to set up the framework for your godaddy/Wordpress account. This way we'll all be starting from the same approximate point on Monday morning:

• Search for promo codes (coupons) for godaddy on the Internet: I found gdz952z for a 30 percent discount at checkout. Feel free to use that code, or another you find, at checkout.
• Go to godaddy.com in your browser: Do a domain name search to see if the combination you want for your Web site address is available. I bought chrisharvey.info for $1.99 for the year. You might also check out .com, .org, .me or us. If you click on the code on the selection page, it will explain each domain name.
• Complete the Domain Registration Information. IMPORTANT: I used a work address and phone number, because this information will show up on the WHOIS listing, which is public information. I used a work email and left the company box blank. See more info on privacy two bullets down.
• I registered for 1 year, and clicked “unCertified” Domain. (Godaddy charges $4.99 a year to assure consumers you are who you purport to be. You can choose to pay this extra fee if you'd like.)
• Privacy and Domain Protection: If you don’t have a work address, you may have to pay between $11.99 and $24.99 for varying levels of privacy protection on step 3 of the registration process. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU’RE ALSO ASKED AT CHECKOUT IF YOU’D LIKE A PRIVATE REGISTRATION; AT THIS STEP, YOU CAN BUY IT FOR $6.99 A YEAR. It also asks you at checkout if you’d like to buy .mobi (a mobile account) for $6.99 a year for those interested. I did not do this.
• Choose hosting type. I chose Economy, for 10 gig of space, at $5.19 a month. It unfortunately at this step doesn't ask you for how long; it assumes a year. This can be changed at checkout to shorter periods. You'll see in steps to come.
• At CHECKOUT, be sure to enter your promo code, gdz952z (or another you've found). If this doesn’t work for you, simply search for another coupon on the Internet. Search for godaddy.com promo codes.
• Check your address and password info. I left off my home phone number.
• Be sure to jot down your login info and keep it in a safe place!
• While checking over your info in your cart, you can change your hosting term from 1 year to monthly (3 months or 6 months, for instance), if you'd like to shorten. Click on hosting in the green navigation bar, add 3 months or 6 months of hosting, and then click on your shopping cart to delete the longer option you initially started with (for one year). This cut my order price in half – from about $44 to $26 -- when I chose 6 months.
• Type in your credit card info, click on the terms of agreement, and order.

When done, you may click on Go Directly to My Account to get to your account manager.

We'll pick up at this step on Monday.

9/11 Multimedia

Welcome Fall Class!

I'm looking forward to engaging with you electronically as well as verbally in class. Please use this class blog to post thoughtful comments on new-media topics in the news. Please attribute your information, and provide links to sources.

You're required to start at least one discussion thread on this blog, as well as to comment on others' posts.

Posts to this blog are in addition to those you will be writing on your personal Wordpress blogs, created in class.

Google map tip

Since a few people in class seemed to have trouble altering the coding on their Google maps so they displayed with the correct amount of zoom, I thought it would be helpful to explain what I did. I had to adjust mine several times before I figured it out, and it was pretty much the only time I ever felt like a computer genius, so here goes:

After you create your map, click on the 'link' button in the upper right corner:

Then, in the box that pops up, click 'customize and preview embedded map.'

A screen will appear where you can change the size and orientation of your map, and you'll notice that the coding in the box corrects itself whenever you make a change. This lets you zoom out on your map to show all your pinpoints (if you have a large area), or zoom in to show individual streets (if you have a small area).

I think Google maps can be a useful tool when writing for the Web. Since so many people already use it, readers won't feel uncomfortable with the technology. The interactive element also makes it especially good for Web writing, because it allows the reader to use the tool, rather than just look at it. Newspapers and magazines can have some well-constructed infographics, but many of these would not stand up to the Web.

For example, this infographic from the Christian Science Monitor story about the Libyan plane crash has a map and an illustration of the plane, all in one small space. The reader gets a lot of information, and the publication doesn't have to worry about taking up precious real estate in the ever-shrinking news hole. However, if they were to put this on the Web, there would need to be some sort of interactive element to draw in the reader.

My only problem with Google maps is that it can sometimes seem a little boring and pedestrian. Has anyone ever used any other programs to create maps or infographics for the Web?

Using Flash on Websites

When I think about fancy graphics being used on websites, I always assume they are using Abobe Flash. Anytime your computer doesn't have the latest Flash update, suddenly every page on the Web becomes inaccessible because you have to upgrade your Flash player. That's why I was really surprised when I found this article on The Online Journalism Review about whether or not web designers should continue using Flash on their websites. I assumed Flash was the standard.

It was interesting to learn from this article that the reason that Flash is beginning to get phased out is because mobile devices don't support Flash. Apparently the IPhone has never been able to run Flash because Adobe and Apple are in a disagreement and if you try to download Flash on a Droid, you just get a message that says in the first half of 2010, Flash will become available for the Droid. I hadn't realized that this was such an issue, but then when trying to browse the web from my phone I discovered how many websites I couldn't use because I didn't have Flash. With the huge expansion of people accessing the Web from their phones, this has to be a concern for web designers that millions of people can't use their sites and are going to go elsewhere for their news.

The author of the OJR article says that he is beginning to shift away from Flash to alternative design methods because he personally doesn't want to lose such a large percent of his readers. I think this is a really interesting issue that is going to move into the spotlight as more people begin to browse the Web on mobile devices and become more annoyed at the handicap they have because they can't look at sites that use Flash. On the other end, Adobe should be getting worried because companies are going to start moving away from Flash if it means allowing the mobile audience to view their sites.

Your Multimedia Stories

I'm linking below to your multimedia stories, which will live on our college server for five or six years -- so that assessment teams can review your work.

Our two graduate students, Tina Irgang and Linda Blachly, were required to do a bit more work on these stories than the undergrads.

Most of you also linked to the personal resume/clip packages you created early in the semester on wordpress.com. You linked to these pages in the copyright line of your multimedia story. So if you'd like to peruse each others' work, you should have links to do so for those personal pages, too.

Thanks for all your hard work this semester. You survived units on blogging, tweeting, Web page building and layout, basic photo and video shooting and editing, slide show and google map creation, headline writing and search engine optimization, copyright and libel. You'll be stronger journalists for it. Hopefully, this exposure will make you fearless in picking up and learning other new tools as they come along. And maybe you'll even be creating some of them!

All the best in your internships and jobs this summer! Please keep in touch!

The Frugal Traveler

I am obsessed with traveling. Absolutely obsessed (granted I can't do it as much as I would like.)But if any of you are as crazy about traveling as I am, you should check out this section of the New York Times travel area called "The Frugal Traveler." It is one of the best columns I have read, and everything he talks about is for those on a budget. Not only does he have Q&A's, but he has reviews, how-to's, and of course, multimedia. This morning when I was looking at it, he had a video up called "San Francisco Welcomes Frugal Baby." Beyond being the cutest thing in the world, it is a really good video with some great examples of shots where the frame is still as other objects move in and out. He has a shot of a street in San Francisco, with the cars bustling through, and on the other end of the spectrum, a fantastic shot of Venice with a gondola slowly floating through the frame. Although he has some shaky walking shots, it's offset by the wonderful baby shots as she toddles through the frames and up stairs and around corners. It's a really good example of some of the techniques we learned in class, as well as a great little piece to make you smile, because after all, who doesn't love babies? Hopefully you will check out the Frugal Traveler and like it as much as I do!

LinkedIn success?

LinkedIn sounds great in theory, but I can't help but wonder, how much does it really help in the job search? I decided to do a little research (Note for Hiba: Through Google, not Bing!).

When I typed in "LinkedIn success stories," I found they actually existed. Nineteen whole search pages worth. Judging by the personal accounts that came up, LinkedIn seemed to be a useful tool for those already in the work force rather than those looking for entry-level positions. This obviously makes sense because they know more people. The more people you know, the better your chance for networking. I.e. The better your chance of finding a job.

One example of a success story was David T. Stevens, who after losing his job at a radio station, immediately changed his LinkedIn status to "I'm up for grabs, who wants me?" Within a week he had a new job as a program and event's manager.

However, in all of these accounts, the idea of "branding yourself" was the most important aspect. It could never hurt to do this too early, even if your credentials and network circle aren't as stellar as you'd like them to be.

Anyway, see the following blog for 10 Ways Journalists Can Use LinkedIn:

http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2007/04/24/ten-ways-journalists-can-use-linkedin/

Happy job hunting!

Bing!

Hi all. I don't know if you're anything like me- if you are, you're just one of those people who learns one thing, gets really good at it, and passes on all the alternatives to stay in your comfort zone.
If I don't make any sense, I'm talking specifically about search engines. I love Google- I learned how to use it eons ago, I probably use it a million times every day, and it works for me. So when all the buzz came around about Bing, I didn't think twice.
I was in a lab the other day and needed to search for something, so I immediately went to the little search bar in the upper right hand corner of the web page I was on. I'm so used to the search bar being for Google that I was really surprised when I hit enter and Bing delivered my results. It looked interesting, so I looked into it a bit. Bing, Microsoft's 'decision engine,'(they're very hard core about this distinction apparantly) is, after all, supposed to be the 'worthy competitor' to Google..

So I made a list of Bing's features that kind of stood out to me to give any of you diehard Google users a look..

Bing Features:
* Explorer Pane: This is a pane on the left-hand side where you can not only see your results organized into categories and related searches.
* Related Searches: A section that shows more organized and relevant results. It's supposed to be a better showcase than Google's.
* You can preview the content of the sites which show up as results from your search. This is supposed to help users weed out sites that don't pertain to what they're looking for.
* Preview a video without clicking on it simply by holding your mouse over it.
* Track and store your previous searches in your search history.


* Video Search: You can filter your search by length of video, resolution, etc..
* Image Search: Scrolling through images instead of flipping through lots of pages.
* Shopping Search: Sort results by price, brand, category, and even see reviews.
* Instant Answers:
o Math calculations
o Check flight status by typing in flight number (pretty cool!)
o Direct stock info

My opinion? Bing looks great, but way too super organized and hi-tech for me. I don't go lots of flights, and I don't have a lot of issues not finding what I'm looking for in my non-Bing searches now. Maybe in a few years I'll have to switch to Bing, but for now, I'm happy with Google.

News Media Topic: iGoogle = Personalized Homepage

I also found that iGoogle is a personalized homepage sponsored by Google. It allows you to check your email, weather, schedule, news, and any other information you want to access. For instance, today I inputed my birthday and was able to read my horoscope based on my day and year of birth. Also, I can input my daily schedule, so I can see it every day and make sure I don’t miss any appointments. But to access this personalized form of iGoogle, you must have a gmail account and create your own homepage with a colored theme, location, and interests. I find this iGoogle homepage very appealing to the daily Internet user because it has some many components that can be personalized to the user.

News Media Topic: Sport Team Creates Web Browser

I have recently come across a very interesting news media topic regarding new web browsers. For sports fans, this information might be appealing to you. The Liverpool Football Club has created a themed web browser for its for devoted sport fans. Its purpose to not only attract its followers, but to advertise its enterprise. To access this web browser, you have go to LiverpoolFC.TV under the subhead:Fans, you can click on LFC Browser to download it. This Liverpool sports team browser provides fans with updates, videos, news, tickets, and social networking sites. This web browser might be the first step for more sports teams to adverstise and appeal to their fans. But at the same time, it might add a degree of obsession for sports fans.

The survival of journalism

I read an excellent article today, As Journalism evolves, mission is strong, by Martin Kaiser, editor of the Journal Sentinel and president of the American Society of News Editors.

He made several great points about the future of journalism and how technology is changing our industry, but his charge to us as journalists, no matter how our profession is changing and evolving, is to "never lose sight of the values that got us here."

"The best journalists will always be, first and foremost, storytellers -- telling stories that uncover new information and shine a light where there was once darkness. All the technology in the world won't change that."

He ended with the following statement:

"What matters is the survival of journalism ... reported journalism ... evidence-based journalism ... journalism that tells the truth, with an ethnical foundation and connectedness to the communities it serves."

And that, my friends, is what will ultimately set us apart from all the "chatter" on the Internet.

Google Reader - Play

I am Google obsessed and am subscribed to so many services that they have. A new one that I am getting into is Google Reader - Play. If you have ever used the website Stumble Upon then you are already familiar with the format. Reader Play browses the Internet for you. It directs you to random websites. It allows you to "star" or share different websites. If you "star" enough websites, it catches on and recognizes what kind of material you are interested in seeing on the Internet.

It uses the same technology that Google Reader does in generating the websites it directs you to. Also, if you already have a Google Reader account, it lets you share the websites you find interesting with other people. It also connects to your Google Buzz account.

I am a little disappointed that it seems to be a rip-off of Stumble Upon, but I am sure that Google will make theirs more impressive somehow. Especially since Google is so prevalent on the Internet, I am sure that it will have access to more websites than other similar programs. Reader Play gives all sorts of information from funny pictures, to interesting editorials and online magazine articles.

Two Not So Adept Headlines and A Good Headline

While searching for bad headlines, I came upon two that struck me as being poorly worded. The first “The Most Awsomest Thing Ever,” written in Time, doesn’t seem to do justice to the credbility and statue of a respected organization such as Time Magazine Online. Proper use of words for headlines is key towards attracting a readers interest, and this headline glorifies the use of slang instead of using proper language to inform its readers. Even though I believe the intent of the author was to be “silly,” and to match the headline with the subject matter of the article, I still believe that the headline should be worded properly and avoid the use of slang terminology.
The other headline that I found that made me read it twice was, “Ohio executes murderer of teen,” by CNN. I think the word choice and placement of this headline did not flow very well. I think the “of” in the headline makes the reader pause and reread the entire headline. If I would have rewritten this headline it would be, “Ohio executes teen murderer” because it flows better and has the same meaning. I also think if you take out “of” and place teen before murderer, it makes it a more powerful headline and matches the tone of the article more.

One headline that I liked was “Impact of War,” because it matched the tone and subject of the article. The headline is clear, concise,and powerful. As a reader I was drawn to the story immediately due to the short and powerful meaning. Also I can tell by the headline that the article is feature story and has stories about people affected by our current war. Therefore I feel the headline matched the contents and tone of the story.

Great multimedia piece on 9:30 Club

This feature from the Washington Post's website demonstrates why the internet is such a powerful reporting tool.

The feature I've linked to is a package about Washington's famous 9:30 Club, one of the country's most celebrated venues for rock concerts. The reason the feature is so impressive is because it includes nearly every possible form of reporting: audio, video, photos, text and interactivity.

The link will take you directly to a video of a typical concert night at 9:30 -- it shows the lines, the performers, the stage, the crowds and the people working there. It is backed by the sound of live music, which is an effective tool to hold the viewer's attention and also to give viewers a sense of what kind of music you could expect to see on a given night. At the top of the story, there is an easily navigable collection of photos that serves essentially as a timeline of the club's history. If you click on one of the photos, you can read text about milestone performances or significant events in the 9:30 Club's storied history. There are write-ups by the authors of this package, but there also are transcriptions from interviews as well, providing a balanced and unique means of relaying information. Some of the interviews are amazing for music nerds like me: stories about Will Smith, Prince, The Police all performing (or trying to perform) at the 9:30 club despite it having notorious rat problems and being too small for most big-time acts to accommodate fans.

Packages like this are so much less static than simple text stories or even photo/video slideshows. Future generations of reporters (read: us) should take note of bundles like these and aim to duplicate them. For interested readers/viewers, a simple text story or audio clip just isn't enough. Journalism on the internet is quickly changing, perhaps even evolving, to become more artistic, more creative, and more inclusive. While a bit daunting, packages like this do show us the future, don't you think?

AP Style changes to website

I saw a status update on Facebook saying that AP style "gave in" and changed Web site to website, so I did a google search and found this. The update will be published in the new edition of the Stylebook, which is being released next month, and it was changed today for the online version. I was curious to see what the rest of the class thought about the change? Is it necessary? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I know I've gotten marks on assignments for writing website, rather than the old form, Web site, because it is commonly written as one word. If you do a google search for "Web site," it will say "Did you mean website?" When I say "website," I think of it as one word, one thing that generalizes a bunch of possibilities, not a proper noun referring to one thing that should be capitalized. I like the change, although as a broadcast journalist, it does not affect me as much. I think the print journalists (who are much more accustomed to writing Web site) will have a much different opinion than I do.

Another aspect of the change I wanted to address is how will it affect other words that contain "Web?" The new listing says, "Also, webcam, webcast and webmaster. But as a short form and in terms with separate words, the Web, Web page and Web feed." I would assume that if the word is not specifically listed here, like website, webcam, webcast and webmaster, then it should be Web blank. Would this be correct? What are other examples, not given in the post, of words that could be unclear? Do you think that eventually, all of the words will change to webpage, webfeed, etc.?

One good and one not-so-great headline

Surprisingly for a publication which originated in print, WashingtonPost.com generally does a very good job of writing suitable headlines for the web.
For its home page and various section pages, the post tends to write brief, attention-grabbing heads. Its story pages usually carry longer headlines which include the terms a reader would plug into a search engine when he or she looks for the story.
A case in point is the April 14 Metro page headline "Tea Time" which leads the reader to a story about tax day protests. The story page carries a much longer headline which reads "Tea party activists protest high taxes, excessive government spending in D.C." - thus hitting all the relevant terms anyone could possibly want to plug into a search engine.

Again surprisingly, web-only publication Slate.com is extremely prone to cutesy headlines familiar from print. Case in point: "Nebraska feels your fetus' pain," the headline for a story about a new abortion-related state law in Nebraska. Apart from "Nebraska," that headline does not contain any of the relevant search terms. Thus, while it will definitely grab the attention of a reader already on the site, it is unlikely to show up at the top of a potential reader's search results.

Sounds like a loser to me

As Linda pointed out in her post, headlines that are too cutesy or rely on puns (no matter how clever) just are not suited for the Web. When a headline appears as a link with very little (or none) of the story's text beneath it, that headline should be clear and concise enough that the reader knows what that story is about.

This was not the case with a headline I found on Salon.com today; "Heads bankers win, tails we lose." This cute but foggy headline appeared on the News page of Salon's site. The sad part is, when you click for the full story, the headline that appears is "Banks, bankers and the new political economy"-- so much better, right? It may be a little general, and not nearly as adorably snarky, but it lets you know what the story will be about. The wise choice would have been to have the cutesy headline after the click. That way, they get to use it, and more people might actually click the link since they know what the topic of the story is.

Headline Wanted

I do my news analyses on the Jerusalem Post, and while looking for a new story to look at I came across this headline: Olmert 'wanted' posters for investigation?

Someone tell me, did he want some posters for an investigation? Even though the "wanted" is in quotes it still doesn't make sense in the sentence. He himself didn't want posters, the police are simply using them for an investigation.

A better course of action would probably have been to say "Police use Olmert wanted posters for investigation" or maybe not even have Olmert in it. Maybe even not use the wanted and just say "Olmert posters". The wanted just makes the whole thing sound weird.

Also why is there a question mark at the end? The story is saying they are trying to find out who made the posters, not who Olmert is!
