Update: I’ve added some digital storytelling links to the end of this post (more to come).
Update: Thanks to Steve Klein for curating today’s digital storytelling examples provided by my tweeps. And thanks to Mindy McAdams (I lost count of how many examples she provided) and others who responded with examples. I will be blogging more on this topic, with links to examples in the blog and sorted by topic. But right now I am unwinding in the canyons of southern Utah.
Update: The workshop is over. Thanks to all who shared examples. I will update later with links to the examples, but you should be able to see most of them on the Twitter hashtag or the liveblog replay.
I’m leading a workshop today on digital storytelling and mobile strategy for a meeting of editors of Pioneer Newspapers.
I will be asking on Twitter for examples of different types of digital stories, using the hashtag #digitalstory. I will be collecting those examples in this liveblog:
Digital Storytelling: Pioneer Newspapers
This post has links to mobile strategy posts I will be citing in the workshop.
Here are my slides for the workshop:
These are some links I used in the workshop (or gathered for possible use) and some links submitted by Journal Register and Pioneer editors. Some are not necessarily great examples, but I present some routine examples to show that small staffs can use these tools and that they can and should be used routinely:
Liveblogging examples:
Election coverage this week by thereporteronline in Lansdale, Pa.
Saratogian live coverage of state rowing championships
Examples of lists as an alternate story form:
Things that are longer than the Redskins’ rushing total
Other Mike Wise tweets that can’t be confirmed
Examples of still photography used in ways that take advantage of web technology:
Glastonbury Festival Facebook-tagging photo
Panoramic photo of Inauguration (zoom in to see how clearly you can see President Obama and the people behind him).
Jay Westcott’s time-lapse photos from Redskins-Cowboys game.
TBD photos gathered from the community using Flickr
Different ways of using maps to tell stories:
Mandy Jenkins’ TBD Metro problems map
Mandy Jenkins’ how-to blog post on crowdmaps
TBD #wheretheyserved interactive Veterans Day map
TBD escalator inspection liveblog and map
Flooding Crowdmap from the Ellensburg Daily Record
TBD examples of breaking news live blogs and community engagement:
Mandy Jenkins blog post on covering Discovery
How Washington Post photographer Michael S. Williamson is using Intersect.
My 2008 video, produced by Michael Barnes, of the homecoming home movie
Curation of social media using Storify:
Snow wreaks havoc on DC, Virginia, Maryland roads
Celebration outside the White House
Photo galleries:
Redskins cheerleader auditions
Using Xtranormal to present a transcript:
First try at using Xtranormal for news
Other examples/tools:
Wordle and a story using a word cloud from the Torrington (CT) Register Citizen (if I say it’s about Donald Trump, that helps my SEO, right?).
