COURSE: Journalism 202: Mass Communication Practices
MEDIUM: Website; Video; Infographic; Podcast
DESCRIPTION:
Having played sports almost my whole life, I was inspired by women who are thriving in athletic professions. College athletic departments have been seen as “boys’ clubs,” but no more signs are reading “No Girls Allowed.” However, since women took their places in Athletic Departments after Title IX, there has been a dramatic drop in the number of female coaches. I made a website using the WordPress platform to display different pieces of the story that explore unique aspects of the current role of women at the University of Wisconsin. These different pieces include an iMovie, Adobe InDesign print layouts, a podcast, and an infographic. These pieces allowed me to gain a better understanding of the changing relationship between digital media and journalism.
