Field reportingWith the ability to connect content with the newsroom on a minute-by-minute basis, I have reported from the field, via twitter and email. This allows the web editor to continuously post story updates as I receive information. Our audience can experience the story telling process as it happens.
The story to the right involved a potential hostage situation. Although it turned out to be a hoax, by tweeting from the scene, and calling in information as I received it, our web editors could keep our audience up-to-date with the story as it progressed throughout the day. |

In-depth web storiesSince there is such a focus on web-based content, I strive to turn a newstory from broadcast format to print so web audiences can comprehend it on a deeper level. With each story I produce for television, I write a print version for the web, delivering more information to tell all facets of the story, even if it wasn't in the newscast.
In the story to the right, I added additional information, utilized photos, graphs, and a slideshow to enhance the web content. |
Editing Web ContentAs a web editor, I've been responsible for posting and editing content for online audiences.
I've spearheaded this kind of editing through my work at Missouri Digital News, but have also contributed to editing KOMU's website, and CBSnews.com |

Web extras
Creating what I like to call, web-extras, gives additional flair to a web story. Flash graphics, still images, slide shows or even links to similar stories, allow viewer-interaction to keep them engaged with a story.
Below is a slide show I created to go along with the story of baby Karra and baby Jocelyn.
