Practicing Convergence Journalism teaches journalists how to
make the most of digital technology to tell their stories
effectively across multiple media platforms in print, audio, video,
and online. In this text, Janet Kolodzy identifies two types of
journalistic stories: the short-form, or immediate, quick
turn-around story, once called "spot news," and the longer-form or
depth news feature that involves a more narrative and interactive
"arc." She addresses multi-media and cross-media thinking,
organizing, reporting and producing for both types of news stories.
Her approach focuses on storytelling principles, not just specific
technical practices, providing journalists with the mindset and
skills to use and adapt their writing and reporting for the tools
of today and tomorrow.
With this text, students learn how to:
- Develop a cross-media way of journalistic thinking that blends
the values and approaches from traditional media into planning,
gathering, organizing and producing news for a fast-paced,
multitasking and mobile audience
- Prepare an easy, facile and adaptive way of using words to get
news and information across to audiences who have varying amounts
of time to read and absorb it, as well as visuals to get news and
information across to audiences who want to experience it
- Decide when visuals are useful and necessary, and how to
capture, select and organize them to effectively enhance the
understanding of a story
- Put together various elements of storytelling (writing, audio,
moving and still pictures) for a journalistic experience the
audience ultimately controls.
