MULTIMEDIA

Hello all,

I need you to check this more often. I know you guys are busy, but so am I!

I need everyone to add some multimedia to at least one of your stories for the first week of Prodution fortnight. Just one to start with.

Let me know what stories you may want to have on video and we will sort it out.

IMPORTANT

Please try an take pictures that can go with your news story. For some events you may want to ask a PR person for them in anticipation?

I am pasting a section from Rachel's blog regarding subbing:

Name all your submissions as follows for easy identification:
your name, life and arts, section heading, subject
e.g. Rachel,life and arts,fashion, viktorandrolf

On Production Fortnight=
Profile=400 words Time limit=1 day
Feature=500 words Time Limit=2 days
News Item=300words Time Limit=1 day
Column/Blog=2-300w Time Limit=1 day

As we are the news team, we should all be either working on a story or thinking about the next one. We are going to have to work really hard and hand in articles in time!

Good luck with your stories!

News news

Hola!


So far I have a story from each one of you, but some stories planned for news have ended up in features (traitors…) and other are joint bylines. I know it’s hard to make them timely, but for those working on news stories, please send them as soon as you finish them.
Daniel-story on DRC
David- Israel-Palestinian
Juliana- Burials or biodiesel
Hamad- need one of the ones you suggested

I know that you guys have been working on them so that’s why im telling you and not the others (who also gave in some stories).
For the rest of you that I haven’t mentioned have a look at the list of events posted on April 29 in the blog as well as Solange’s suggestions posted below.

I need to have everyone constantly thinking, doing or finishing a story.

Have a good wknd!

Multimedia Pax

Hey all!

I'm posting for everyone to see the multimedia packages we have for all the sections as of right now. So far, providing that everything gets approved for live broadcast, we'll have it as a "go" Those stories which are marked "Unconfirmed" have not been confirmed to me by section editors as to whether or not they are being written.

Here they are:

Multimedia Packages
1. Freeganism-Steph Chung (broadcast reporter), Lisa Botter (feature writer—2 piece spread—2 days?)
2. Israeli/Palestinian conflict—Nathalie Gentaz(broadcast reporter), David Mugyoni (Interview news feature)
3. Young People and HIV—Steph Chung (reporter), David M. or Soni Daniel (news piece) UNCONFIRMED
4. Refugee Week—Toni Renda (reporter), Zoe Lamazou (news story)
5. London-Paris bike ride—Tania G. (reporter), Marie Dhumieres (feature) UNCONFIRMED
6. Chilean law outlawing use of birth control—Cecile Bonneau (reporter), Mari Gilli (news feature)
7. French Modeling Agencies—Matthieu S. (reporter), Rachel (lifestyle feature)
8. Pickup Artist—Federica Cocco (reporter), Federica Cocco & Mari Gilli (lifestyle feature).
9. Modern Feminism and anti-Playboy protest—Tania G (reporter), Solange (Events, possible news story, and possible profile)


I will be posting a list at the end of the weekend as to all of the broadcaster stories. Some will not be approved for broadcast, but I'd rather we write our stories in advance. Worst case scenario, we have just the print story and no video or audio. These stories are not to be a rehash of the same subject matter, but rather taking these ideas on from a different angle or creating a linking story. In addition, if anyone is interested in recording video or audio for his or her segments, please let section editors know and have them contact me ASAP. If you have a question for me, personally pertaining to multimedia, please email CityUmultimedia@gmail.com.

Thanks!
Solange D.

Progreso

Holas!
The official deadline for handing the first set of articles is tomorrow. So far I have David's and Daniel's article on Kenya, and mine on Burma.
I know you are all working on yours and that we will have all the articles ready and subbed for the 20th. I have already spoken to each one of you individually today. But, the sooner you get them in the better. All first drafts should be in before the weekend to make sure that the stories will definitely be ready to publish.

I will see you tomorrow!

Daniel, glad you got yours in so early, that makes things much easier.
But ,can you and the rest of the team email me your articles instead of posting them here? (almudena.serpis@gmail.com)
Its better to keep the blog just for messages for everyone, suggestions and ideas.

Thanks

Ali
