My colleague Bill Neville pointed out the new site design of the George-Anne Daily, Georgia Southern’s student newspaper. The site was built by “attack web geeks” (Bill’s words) using PHP/MySQL. You can see some of their multimedia efforts on this page.
They also have interactive web classifieds.
Over the next few days, I’m highlighting some students who are braving the waters of new media.
Here are two examples from Pensacola Junior College: Carol Wallace Payne Concert and South Pacific.
Carol Wallace Payne Concert producer and photographer: Zeke Hazewinkel, using Adobe Premiere Pro, Flash intro and credits, Nikon D70 digital camera and Marantz PMD 660 digital recorder. Hazewinkel is a student in multimedia technology at PJC.
South Pacific Reporter: Jennifer Rich-Neal; Photographer and producer: Zeke Hazewinkel. Produced in Adobe Premiere Pro with Flash animation intro. Used Nikon D70 digital camera and Marantz PMD660 recorder.
These and more are also available in the Multimedia Examples page.
All is not gloom and doom. I like to show off examples of students trying out new things. To that end, over the next week, I’ll be highlighting some work by students from around the country that have been e-mailed to me by members of College Media Advisers and other interested parties. If you are a student or know of a student who’s done some multimedia work this semester, e-mail me a link and a description, and I’ll put something up on the site: scmurley -at- gmail.com.
We’ve knocked the Daily Illini previously for their blogging policy, and their decision to stop writing staff editorials for a two-week period earlier this fall. But today, we have to give them props for using their Internet site to update a breaking story about a student dying on campus: UI student found dead outside Campbell Hall.
I can’t think of a better way to use a student media website than to update a developing story.
