Kent State’s shotgun wedding convergence resource
January 7, 2009 in Tech Talk, Websites
Kent State’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications has put together a web site that looks at how they’ve “converged” their student media into one big happy family (right?). #
You can follow their adventures through the planning stages and on into the second year of the experiment. #
It’s worth a read, and a lot of information to digest. Of course, one major hurdle that isn’t really addressed is the situation for college media that isn’t tied into the j-school – like Va. Tech, or Vanderbilt (neither of which have a j-school) or Florida (which has a j-school, but the Alligator is independent of the university). #
