About our class
Multimedia journalism class explores the viability and perceived credibility of mobile technologies as opposed to more traditional ways of news-gathering practices. Students are testing iPads and iPhones to shoot, edit, voice, produce and transmit video stories from the field. For the Norris trip, the solo journalists used traditional video cameras to examine issues facing small town businesses.
