Digging Deeper...

The next pit stop for technology travelers in the agricultural journalism capstone course is SoundSlides.
This pairing of source-only audio and images felt forced and unnatural to me - a bit like writing a magazine feature using only direct quotations. However, I can see the appeal of a short, low-intensity medium for consumers to get a feature fix (likely during their caffeiene fix if they are anything like me).

After a practice run on a friend to test my sound-gathering skills (Thanks, S.), I set out to interview a young man I met several months ago. This section of his life wasn't the story I expected to tell, but a time crunch and reporting "oops" led me to his transition from college to the 'real world' as an employee. I'll leave the storytelling to Joe Burns though... You shouldn't need any additional software to see and hear "College Job to Career."



...and yeah, that's two posts in one day (Just for you, R.)!
