Week 7

Week 7

Week seven was exciting because it introduced me to digital storytelling. It's a very simple concept that includes using web 2.0 applications to tell stories in non-traditional ways i.e slideshows or animation. I made my own animation on go-animate.com and had a blast with it.

The implications of digital storytelling for journalism are huge. Telling stories in new and creative ways is the new benchmark of a modern journalist, and combining slideshows with music has obvious implications.

I've included a link to a slideshow on the alligator.org website that shows how slideshows can benefit storytelling in a new way.
