The one-stop shop for the video stories produced by our Louisville workshop participants – Main Street Stories (cicmstreetstories.org) is now open for business.

Please drop by and check out the work of these dedicated workshoppers. I’d say it was some pretty good work for a weekend.

I have created a page under the “Resources” tab at the top of the blog with a list of links to free online tools. This is a gathering place for links that I showed during a presentation at the National College Media Convention in Louisville (and also a couple of other workshops). I’ll be updating it in the future with other sites. Check it out here.

Vote early or vote on time, but vote

October 26, 2010 in blogging

votedThis is your public service announcement for the week. Next Tuesday, Nov. 2, is an election day around the United States. In Illinois, early voting ends today. If your state has early voting, I’d encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to cast your vote without having to stand in line on Tuesday.

If you can’t vote early at this point, make a point of doing so on Tuesday. It’s your civic duty.

“American Experience” looking for college students to retrace Freedom Ride

October 22, 2010 in Academics

Watch the full episode. See more American Experience.

This sounds like a pretty interesting experience, and would be worthwhile for a college journalist to interact with the documentarians who are producing the project.

The application is filled out online, and involves an essay (naturally).

Congrats to Dan Reimold, College Media Matters blogger, for an appearance on ABC’s Nightline this week. You can view the episode (sadly, they don’t allow embedding) here.

Maybe I’m just cranky, or I’m just burned out on the breathless reporting that exemplifies so much of “investigative journalism” on TV, but the story itself seemed to be the result of a lot of nostalgia for a past that never existed.
