Week 14 – Online Journalism is coming to an end!
I have published the Dipity timeline I created looking at what campaigns, awards and events universities in Birmingham are doing to help the environment and sustainability. 
The timeline took a lot longer than expected as there are many stages you have to go through including: uploading event, writing event info (date and description), adding image, connecting a URL and linking any other multimedia features e.g. videos. In total I added about 7 events for each university; I found it quite difficult to find out about future events especially during the summer as students aren’t at university, therefore a lot fewer events take place then.
This week I am working on getting all work completed for the Online Journalism assignment. I am aiming to edit the video Emma Dando and I recorded at the ‘Brum Skeptics’ event with David Gregory. I have tried to edit the video on ‘Windows Movie Maker’ as that’s where I edited my last video, but I’ve had no success. Does anyone know any other video editing programs…? Once the video has been completed I am hoping to add it to the article and audio already posted on the ‘Birmingham Recycled’ website.
It feels really strange that this module is coming to an end! Will definitely be keeping the blog going though, I’m so glad the module gave me the motivation to get a blog, I had been meaning to set one up for ages! I’ve really noticed the importance of being active online, especially working in the media!
