The Final Project Ideas

11:36 PM |

For my final projects, I have some ideas that pop out on my mind.

Face of International Student.

As a college with a lot of International students from many countries, it would be a good think, if I could took a picture of students from different countries and do a little bit profile of them. I also thinking to take their picture with sign of peace. So, it can be message to the world that no matter what kind of race and countries you are, you need peace.

Everett CC Building.

For this one I would take the picture of all the building at EvCC, seems weird but it would be interesting to see how the shape and the look of every building. For the caption I would write down the name and also the year when the building was built. So, people could know the oldest building and the newest one.

Student Candid Camera.

It's like what paparazzi did, taking picture of actress by hiding or without permission. I remember one day my teacher said, it's okay to take a picture without permission as long as it's public. What I'm gonna do is taking a student natural action in college. Like when they do sun bathing, playing game or etc.

Homeless in Seattle.

It was important to realize that our life is better than others people. There so many people who are not having place to stay in this powerful and rich country. By showing this picture, I would people think that how lucky they are.

Wedding Reactions Slideshow

11:24 AM |

The Wedding of this Century

The Prince Harry and Kate finally marry each other. Most of the journalist in this world focus to this news. In every newspaper or website news, the photo of Prince Harry in the Red costume together with Kate in her white custom is everywhere.

But, the slide show from New York Times, with the tittle Wedding Reactions From Around the World is a little bit different. Rather than taking the picture of the Prince and the bride, they took the pictures of people reactions from the people while watching the wedding ceremony.

By seeing the slide show people could feel how the wedding is a awaited and interesting. We may also see how the British really love their Prince, no matter where they are, they give a time to watch this wedding.

The photos were really nice and the message so clear. The photo have a caption but people still enjoy the picture even they do not have a caption.

Party School Reporting

4:53 PM |

The content of the blog today was the reflection of Live Reporting about Party School.

How does the story use "nat" or natural sounds? Give an example of effective use

The story put the real story of students who are doing party and being drunk because of alcohol, It was really effective because the story about the number one party school.

Reporting . . . where does the information come from? Who are the sources?

They got the story from one of their producer of their radio show who talked to them about what happened in the night around the college. Then they went and started reporting. Their sources are the students.

Interest . . . what makes this story interesting?

The story is really interesting because it's about Party School. But, what those two people who reported this story, make it more interesting. Like the story line, they reported step by step and put some fact about the thing that happened.They were making live reporting

If you could do a strictly audio story, what would it be? Whom would you interview? And what "nat" sounds would you HAVE to get to properly tell the story.

If I got the chance to interview, I would love to interview the students. And once again I would live to interview the President of the University. For the "nut" I would give the sound of people who are doing party and the last put the Miley Cyrus song, Party at USA.

What's your twitter account?

This question is commonly used in Indonesia when people meet each other. No wonder, Indonesia is the third populous twitter users in the world after USA and Brazil.

Since the first time it was launched. Twitter has became one of the very famous social networking after facebook. Many people used this social networking. From younger to the older, from the student to the teacher, from ordinary people to the President, and from mafia syndicate to the journalist.

For the context of journalism, at least there were two reasons why the Twitter is useful for a journalist. First, twitter can be a used a s a tool to spread the writing. Through Twitter, journalists can disseminate his writings by putting the link of his writing as an update status. In order to make the readers interested on reading that link, the Twitter status must be as attractive as possible.

Second, twitter can be the tool to absorb an information. Through facebook, a journalist can absorb an information not only from society but also any other media as reference. For example; White House, FOX, BBC, NBC, or even Wikileaks. By following media or institutions account, it facilitates a journalist to obtain the information.

Multimedia Journalism Class: Part 2 - Blog

9:00 AM |

One of the interesting blog I got from Seattlepi.com is: http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlesportsguy

If you are from Seattle and a big sport fans, this is the website you gonna visit. All the contents is all about sport. Let say, 80% basketball and 20% American football.

According to me, this blog is a news but it's more personal opinion. Like what they said, it's running commentary sport.The good things from this blog because the contents are really represent of people in Seattle. If they write about basketball, it's about basketball club which is exist in Seattle like UW basketball team or WSU basketball team. Or even the team which is not exist anymore, Seattle Super Sonics (R.I.P)

However, the owner of the blog only post twice or three times in one month, which make people wait for too long.

This blog also provide so many links about sport. They also provide gadget where you can share this blog by facebook or twitter. They also allow people to comment in their story.
