Silence. Dead silence. It's weird being the only person in the Multimedia Newsroom, a place where news buzzes around students who are hard at work trying to gather and produce it. I had to turn on the TV to liven up this place. Today's highlights: 1,000s of people are out of electricity after last night's ice storm downed power lines. Sleet and snow continue to come down today along with the tempature.
I couldn't stay cooped up in my house today, the iciest, nastiest day of winter thus far. Staci and the rest of the team are working from home. We've come a long way since I last posted. This week Staci and I finished the Home page to the 409 stories, which will be entered in the Kansas Professional Communicators Communications Competition in the online division. We were working on the index page for stories yesterday and hope to have the web site done this week.
The logo design has changed with the artistic help of Kris. Bryan has finished part of the email database that will be available to the student media this spring. I finished the blurb that will urge KU students and anyone who is interested to sign up to be campus media consultants. KUJH-TV and the Kansan have yet to be briefed on the email database. Consider this a precursor to that discussion. We'll unveil the database and the logo when the semester begins, but for now we're busy working on getting the KUJH-TV web site up and running.
