Last night I started reading a little, 128-page book that was sent to me in the mail early in the fall semester. “Journalism 2.0: How to Survive and Thrive” by Mark Briggs (assistant managing editor for interactive news at The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wa.) covers a range of topics that are pertinent to the modern reporter.
Some of the material has just been a review, but I have also gleaned many interesting facts and bits of advice that have spurred a number of ideas for The Miami Hurricane.
Here’s a list of topics I’ve leafed through thus far: RSS feeds, Web 2.0, tools and toys, new reporting methods, how to blog, how to report news for the Web and digital audio and podcasting.
News outlets descended upon the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami Sunday night to cover the Univision GOP forum. The Miami Hurricanewas in the thick of it as well, with reporters watching the event from the media room and later roaming around with video cameras.
Read News Editor Karyn Meshbane liveblog the event from the press area.
Read the news story, watch the slideshow and related video here.
Since I’ve been talking about Web site-related topics today, I figured I might as well throw video into the mix.
Here is a video shot primarily by me, with a couple clips from Matt Bunch. Matt also did the editing and voiceover work. The package documents the full-day’s experience for the final Miami Hurricanes home game at the Orange Bowl on Nov. 10. Enjoy!
Well, I needed another study break and decided to add a drop down menu for blogs on the section bar. Here’s a screen capture, but don’t take my word for it, visit TheMiamiHurricane.com and try it yourself!
Having a hard time finding the blogs page? Don’t know where to find an application? Unable to get an RSS? Who’s on staff? How do I post a calendar item?
All those questions are answered with TheMiamiHurricane.com‘s latest feature called Quick Links, which appear above the lead and featured story area on the homepage. Check it out:
