Working the Web


This week my web adventures included making a web extra for the top story of all the nightly newscasts, President Obama's visit to St. Charles to rally support for his health care plan. Our lead videographer/photographer accompanied one of the student reporters to cover the story for our evening newscasts. Once they returned to the station, they showed us all of their video and photos from the day. Since they had so many photos, the other dot com person and I decided to pick the best ones and put them on the web to enhance the visuals of the story.
We edited the 7 best photos in photoshop, sized them correctly and saved them to the KOMU account on Flickr as a slideshow. Once it was ready on the online account, we copied the html code into our web content management system to embed the slideshow into the correct web story. Here is the link to the slideshow and the story!
