VIDEO PROJECT IDEA

Mike, Shane and myself plan to go around campus and find random students to do a small quiz and record their answers. We may format the interview like a game show, giving the contestant three questions and a reward if all three are answered correctly.

The sound would include one of us three asking a question, receiving the answer from the students, and then telling the student whether their response was wrong or right.

One of us will interview the students, and the other two will be responsible for videotaping the encounter.

Newspaper video (LSC MULTIMEDIA STORY TELLING)

The way this newspaper offers it video's is very professional and has it very well organized.
I think its worth coming back to this site and finding ore videos.
Plus I was able to share the video on my blog, it let me copy the ULR and the Code to embed on my blog.
The video appears to be normal time length compared to other videos I have watched  online form other newspaper websites, such as the Washington Post.
The subject was about human androids and I think that i very interesting topic because it is discussing or very future in technology and robots....there is no telling to what we as humans can do when we put or minds together and create a master piece. Machines that respond to our voices and feel as we do.
This is topi s far beyond interesting...it's amazing and worth taking interest in.

"Look around on the website and write a blog post telling us what you think about the site -- what you like, what you dislike, whether it is a good idea."


What I liked about the website first off was the tour that I took when I created my account on it.
The tour showed the things I can do on the site.
I can even keep up with the site and the assignments on twitter and keep up to date.
And they even have a Facebook page.

I also took into consideration and interest 3 words
EXPLORE, DISCOVER, CONTRIBUTE.

The way this site distributes info and current events to keep people up to date is unique, unlike anything I have ever seen. I believe that this should be used by any journalism student who is just starting out and need a push.

I think that this website is a excellent idea and it has everything. I also like the editors pick and the top pick as well. The site even offers a Assignment desk that lets you even share your very own story, even group assignments.

There is nothing to no like about this site, because it is very very useful and has no flaws. I do think iReport  just needs a few more upgrades that isall
I would recommend this site to everyone in EJA.

iReport is part of CNN.com where people post stories they have reported about. It is a great place to explore what is going on in the world, discover new stories and, and to share your own content.

400-Word Feature 

Alan Weiss visited Lyndon State College on Monday, October 21 to give a presentation open to the public. Weiss is a seven-time Emmy Award winner as a producer and writer.
Weiss graduated from Northwestern University with a Master’s Degree in Journalism in 1974. Later that year he joined ABC to start his wonderful career.
At ABC Weiss was a writer for Ted Koppel, who hosted “World News Tonight-Weekend Edition.” He started off as a writer, but quickly rose towards the top.

ABC chose Weiss to launch the newly created “5 O’ Clock Eyewitness News” broadcast. It became the most popular five p.m. news broadcast in New York City in just three months.
Weiss was the first person to report on the death of John Lennon in 1980. He was in a motor cycle accident, and while in the hospital Weiss overheard a police officer tell another cop about the shooting.

He was noticed nationally for his story on Lennon, and his story won Weiss his second Emmy Award in news.

Albert Primo and Weiss are the co-creators of “Teen Kids News” and together are the executive producers. The show is weekly half-hour long shows that has teenagers report on current events in the news.

The news broadcast has been on for over eleven years and has produced over 500 shows. Weiss wanted to create a news broadcast that targeted kids.

Teen Kids News has won an Emmy Award, another credential to add to Weiss’ resume. About two hundred television stations carry Teen Kids News, and the broadcast is shown to the military all over the world.

Weiss had the audience laughing throughout his presentation at Lyndon State College. The Audience was attentive, asking questions and engaging with Weiss for the hour and a half presentation.
When the presentation was over, students rushed to the front of the room to hopefully talk with Weiss. Everyone that wanted to speak to him was able to, and he seemed overjoyed to talk to students.

After everyone had left the room, Weiss was nice enough to allow Andrew Baughn to ask him a few questions. He was very outgoing, pleasant, and easy to talk to.

The Society of Professional Journalist Club of Lyndon State was responsible for having Weiss come to the Northeast Kingdom. Weiss’ appearence was their largest event of the year.
