Welcome to the Multimedia Journalism Blog!

Greetings. This blog will accompany the Multimedia Journalism course taught in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University. The course is designed to introduce students to issues related to multimedia journalism. Topics covered will include the new media profession, Web credibility, online reporting sources, cyberlaw including libel and copyright, blogging and podcasting, and basic multimedia design. Students will both critique and create online materials.

On this blog, students will have various assignments, doing their own reporting, commenting on the current state of journalism, and critiquing the work of others. In addition, students will be developing and showcasing their own multimedia work.

This blog is an open forum and your constructive comments are welcome.
