Check out the Spartan Daily’s online Associated Students election guide, a multimedia package complete with pics, profiles and videos of individual candidates, as well as links to the Daily’s recent A.S. election coverage. (Consider it another prototype for your final multimedia project.)
This election guide was put together by spartandaily.com editor Kyle Hansen, who took this class last year. (Yes, we profs like to brag on our success stories, and we certainly count Kyle as one of them!)
Like you, he started a blog when he took the class; he’s still writing Kyle’s Comments.

I am glad you like our election guide. It was a lot of work, but well worth all the effort. And I have to point out that I did not do it all. In fact, a lot of the work was done by a couple of reporters, one of which had no previous video experience and yet he did almost all of the videos! So don’t get discouraged if you are having a hard time or think that there is too much to learn. Take it step by step and then work with other people. When you get a bunch of people working together you can come out with even better projects.
And as a side note, I hope you all have joined Wired Journalists, http://mediageeks.ning.com/, created by JMC alum Ryan Sholin. It is a great place to learn more, network with other people and get inspiration.
Hopefully we will see some of you working on the Daily in the fall….
