As journalists in a multimedia world, we should resist defaulting to medium; that is, if we are a writer, we shouldn't automatically write a story; we should consider using video or other story forms if that what best expresses the context of the story, and best connects the topic with the audience.
One medium we're exploring now is alternative story forms, also known as ASFs, where you take non-traditional methods of presenting, sharing and posting information that gets away from the traditional story structure.
One good tutorial is here:
Plus, here is another:
In this class, we want you to do most of your stories in the medium you consider your mainstay, whether that is writing or video or photo stories or whatever. But beyond that, while you may do most of your stories in your preferred medium, we want you to do at leafs one story this semester outside of your preferred medium.
That means at the end of the summer, you should have at least one written story, at least one video or audio or photo story, and at least one ASF for this class.
