This past Wednesday started yet another one of my adventures as a web editor at the station. At first the only tasks I could successfully complete were cotweeting reporters and hounding them about writing their web stories before they race out the door. These were the only tasks because only one computer was working behind the desk and the paid desk person needed to use it for updates, etc. As a web editor for my capstone class along with my partner Eliza, we both use the extra computer which was trampled by a terrible virus early in the day. I had my own computer so I made sure to keep the website (komu.com) refreshed so I could look over and edit the existing content from the day.
As always the tech dudes at the station rescued our sad, sick computer and by about 8:30 pm we were back working in full force. I began to capture, photoshop and create reporter images from their video cards to the ACM. Some of the images uploaded at the previous shift were not properly sized for the web so I had to redo those before posting them on the correct story. I made some new images, cotweeted reporters, direct messaged a few viewers who had questions and also added categories and web extras to a few stories. I am becoming way more comfortable and quicker at my web editor tasks. I am excited to begin making interactive graphics once I am more comfortable with flash and illustrator.
