Data-driven Interactive Journalism
This course will explore complex storytelling using data. Students will pitch, report, conceptualize, design, and produce compelling data-driven pieces.
January Academy: Basic Hype, HTML, and CSS
Learn how to create media-rich and interactive stories with Tumult Hype, an HTML5 editor that allows you to build content that works across browsers and mobile devices that use Android or iOS. Students will learn how to integrate text, photos, audio, and video and incorporate buttons for non-linear navigation. We’ll address the important questions of where and when to use Tumult Hype versus other kinds of delivery methods. We’ll survey existing new media sites to evaluate techniques and discuss how other news and non-news sites use HTML5 to present content.
This workshop also introduces students to HTML and CSS, the fundamental coding languages for presenting information on the Web. Understanding these fundamental Web languages will allow students to better build and customize Web presentations, sites and WordPress templates. You will be expected to learn and use code in this course..
