Online only: GOP forum coverage

News outlets descended upon the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami Sunday night to cover the Univision GOP forum. The Miami Hurricane was 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.

A taste of video

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!

Ideas for working with spring sports reporting class

Incoming sports editor Matthew Bunch and I met today with Miami Herald sportswriter Michelle Kaufman, who teaches a 500-level sports reporting class in the spring. Matt and I took the class last spring and tossed around ideas with Michelle about how we could integrate the coursework with the newspaper.

Michelle was very receptive and had great ideas. Here are some of the plans we discussed:

-UM sports blogs, live blogging during the games

-A multimedia project (video package or audio slideshow)

-Dedicated page on TheMiamiHurricane.com for each sport
