Final Assignment
February 18th, 2009
REVISED DEADLINE: NOW APRIL 14, 2009
Continue thinking about your final project.
The theme this year is the impact of the financial crisis in Hong Kong. You will need to come up with a topic. For example: charities. Are they seeing donations fall? Education: are people extending/cutting short their education?
You will base it around the Hong Kong 2009-10 budget delivered on Feb 24.
Angles to consider:
- what measures did the Financial Secretary invoke to help those in financial trouble?
- What do those who are supposed to benefit think of them?
- What do those who did not benefit think?
When the budget is unveiled we can discuss further angles.
This will be a multiple-media project using text, pictures, graphics and, if you wish, audio and/or video.
So think about which media best suits each aspect of your feature.
- Will you use vox pop?
- Will a graph explain some aspect of your story more succinctly than just words?
REMEMBER: THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM COURSE SO YOU MUST TRANSLATE / VOICE-OVER ALL ELEMENTS INTO ENGLISH
You will produce it on your web site and link back to your blog.
We will discuss your progress in class over the next few weeks so be prepared!
The deadline for delivering your project is April 1 April 6. April 12. April 14.
