Requirements:

  1. This is a multimedia reporting project. Create a complete Web site to present your story idea using a WordPress.ORG package, including interface design, navigation, and content.
  2. All content should be your original work. Arrange appropriate interviews, photos, or recording as necessary. Contact appropriate sources.
  3. Carefully plan sections and organize your time to allow for creating appropriate graphics, obtaining photos, video clips, and other information.
  4. You (and your group member, if applicable) can share multimedia materials, but each of you have to create your own written content.

  6. The project MUST have a minimum of four multimedia components: Your site must include at least one video (or more),  one photo slideshow/gallery (with captions), and one data visualization component.
