Converged Journalism

Converged journalism is a relatively new course at Butler University, launched for the fall 2009 semester.

The goal is to teach journalism students to think in new ways and use new skills in order to gather and package news in multimedia formats and to meet the 24/7 information needs of the 21st Century.

Using traditional news-gathering and news values skills, the following pages present students’ final projects on this Web-based venue, including print-style, TV broadcast-style (video) and online-style (chunks, interactive links and other searchable content) information.
