Week 3 - Assignments
1. PRAGUE/CAMBODIA STORIES: This week those of you who travelled overseas before the semester will complete your reporting assignments from your Prague/Cambodia trip. The final article(s) should be posted on your blog.
Some people have already written their stories. They therefore have the week off. Some have completed their first drafts. Others have produced what appear to be proposals rather than drafts or outlines.
Deadlines: Feb 10 @ 12 noon for the Wednesday class and Feb 12 @ noon for the Friday class.
Group articles should NOT be identical. You can use the same information and the same quotes but you should write up your article individually. Note: please feel free to do additional web-related reporting to produce sidebars (and credit the information properly).
For example: should your group be reporting about the Prague Olympic movement for example, you could produce a chart of the medals won by Czech/Slovak athletes obtained from the official Olympic site (and properly credited). If you are writing about the landmine problem in Cambodia, you could produce a timeline of the country’s involvement in the Indo-Chinese wars, invasion by Vietnam and subsequent developments. And/or a who’s who of the Khmer Rouge leadership and so on.
2. LUNAR NEW YEAR REPORT
The editors/pix editors have a lots of responsibility.
