Dissect a
favorite news website and explore how the web enhances the storytelling. Look
at the layout of the home page, the design of the navigation devices, the use
of visuals on every page and any differences in daily, breaking news and special projects in terms
of using the web’s strengths. Write a minimum of two pages.
Cover a
local news event and write a breaking news blurb for the web. The blurb should run no
longer than three chunks or 100-150 words. Try and write three blurbs within three hours of the event, changing and updating each one.
Take a breaking news story presented in another medium (print or broadcast) and plot out other links and background that could add context to the story. Think about an interactive element for the story such
as comments, chat room, timeline or map. If a broadcast story, plot out how you
would go beyond playing a video clip online. How would you use material not in
the aired piece? If a print story, what visual elements could you add?

Develop a
plan for how you would change an online news site’s content throughout the day,
taking advantage of the differences of online users’ browsing habits in the
morning, day and night.
