For the past week I have been working on my storyboard. I have finished coming up with three design for my story board. However I still did not chose my final plan because I need to contact CMU and Aljazeera to see if I was able to get an interview from them. Based on the answer they will give me I will be able to chose my final design. Other than that I have looked at some of the outsourced videos that other people want us to do. Amira and I, decided to do a video together. The video is an interview about how the Internet has affected the entertaiment. In today's lesson we wrote the script for the innterview. On Sunday we will be able to film the interview.

Presentation on Citizen Journalism

On Thursday, April 30, 2009, Dr. Roth, the dean of Northwestern came to talk with us about citizen journalism. He explained what citizen journalism is, which is where citizens pass information about events that they witnessed. He also explained the effect of citizen journalism on the world and on journalism and on passing the information to people. He also explained how technology has affected journalism and the different ways that people view the news. From this presentation I feel that I have understood what citizen journalism is and its effect on society and the economy.
