Learning to use Storify

For my multimedia class on Thursday the lesson was on how to create a story using Storify. The purpose of Storify is to create a story based on tweets,  facebook post, google searchs and even Instagram from others and incorporate them to your story to add more opinions others than your own.

The way Storify works is once you pick a topic and find related post on any of the above social media sites and drag it to your story board. Once there you can choose to add text explaining the post searched you dragged to your story board.

This will give the story more edge and opinion from others and not just your own.

Here is a link to my first Storify post Obama's 2nd inauguration speech in the eyes of the students.

Introduction to my blog


I’m a photojournalism student at Cerritos College currently taking the Multimedia Reporting course. The purpose for this blog is to track my understanding of what multimedia reporting is and how it is apply to journalism. In this blog you’ll find projects that I worked in class and reflections from the projects and the assign reading from the book Producing Online News: Digital skills, Stronger Stories.

In this course we will be working on blogging, Twitter and anything other type of social media. Also we will look at animation/infographs, audio and how they related and work in journalism.

Here are 10 blogs that I find to be helpful:
