Special Guest Speaker Steven Buttry
Here are some highlighted noted I took from this lecture
– “Digital tools are so versatile that they are only limited to our imagination” Buttry
– “You don’t use all tools on a single story or it just becomes chaotic” – Buttry
– Twitter’s natural character limitations keep sentences at an appropriate length for journalism articles
– Stories can be told in 140 characters or less
– “Most digital storytelling is going to take considerable planning”
– The use of time-lapse photography provides a powerful visual, especially when dealing with natural disasters.
– “As social media is transforming journalists, is it doesn’t all have to be the journalist doing it all”
– Digital story-telling is frequently non linear
– “One of things that I think is important about digital storytelling is trying new things”
