Today in #osunewsclass we learned how to create a presentation in Adobe Spark. It seems like a simple and effective way to showcase projects! I like how YouTube videos can be embedded right into the presentation.

Discussed ethics today in #osunewsclass. We said how anonymity should only be granted in cases that would cause harm to the source. It’s important to think of the needs of the many vs the needs of the few.

Toured the new @WOSU building in #osunewsclass. We got a behind the scenes look at public radio.

Discussed editing articles in today’s #osunewsclass. Start editing by reading it fully and analyze the big picture. Then, you can fix any grammar or AP Style mistakes.

In class today we went out and shot video to edit our first news packages! Very exciting! #osunewsclass

Jeopardy + article = midterm. #osunewsclass

We practiced our photojournalism skills today and took some pictures of students studying by Mirror Lake. #osunewsclass

[Ryan Welch @RyanWelchOSU]

Heard about a public safety meeting that was a little out of control and how you still have to make a story out of what was said, even if it was mostly nonsense. #osunewsclass

Ledes for feature stories can be longer than ones for news stories. Emphasis is on hooking the reader instead of telling the most important information first. #osunewsclass

[Ryan Welch @RyanWelchOSU]

Today, we learned about some tools which will be useful when writing stories with lots of data that we need to make sense of. Thanks @journtoolbox ! #osunewsclass

Talking to Ania Campbell, director of operations at OUAB, about the upcoming homecoming events after a year off due to Covid-19. #osunewsclass

Do not let a source read a whole story before it is published. You could read back specific quotes to make sure you are being accurate but it’s not their call to approve your writing. #osunewsclass

In AP Style, if someone’s title is before their name, it is capitalized. If it comes after their name, it is not capitalized. #osunewsclass

[Ryan Welch @RyanWelchOSU]

We visited The Lantern today and wrote stories about our visit. It was cool to hear about what a typical print day looks like. #osunewsclass

The number in the address unlocks abbreviations! #apstyle #osunewsclass

According to AP Style, apostrophes do not belong at the end of a plural numeral. You would write, “the 1970s had great music”, not “the 1970’s”. I have to remember that one, because I’ve definitely been guilty of getting that wrong in the past! #osunewsclass
