Working KOMU.com February 3rd
This counts as another successful week for Amanda and I in our continuing education of the web. Our big goal was to work with images this week. We went to each reporter and asked to borrow their video cards in order to get images. Once we collected all of them, we created a slideshow on flickr. Here is the link to the slideshow. In addition, we also helped put up reporter links on Robin Carnahan and discounts on the links and numbers page. Also, this week, we posted our first two Best of Basketball episodes both on KOMU's site and to the Best of Basketball Blog. I think all in all, I'm starting to understand the process of getting things on the web. However, I still need to figure out what people are really looking for on the web. So far, our stories are traditional packages. Hopefully we can figure out if people might want to see whole interviews on the web. All of this is in hopes of getting the best content to the viewer.

I'd actually embed the slideshow onto KOMU.com so viewers can really enjoy it. Also, title your slideshow with a name that goes with the story on komu.com - along with giving the photos titles and captions. Make sure your links and numbers links also go on the reporter's full story -- I'd love to see a link to the story on Carnahan.
ReplyDeleteAlso -- I think if you're going to try to get people to look at the BOB blog, you need to embed the video on the site -- It's cool to have the story on komu.com, but the blog needs to be more visually appealing. Photos, video and more written information on the stories you're working on will make it a real website.
