Hello there,
My name is Dr. Jeff Riley. I'm the professor for this class, MMJ4336 Digital Journalism, part of the Multimedia Journalism curriculum here at Georgia Southern University. The purpose of this course is twofold. One, students are taught how to create and manage a media product of their own design. Two, students are taught how to cover a specific topic. Now, normally we use this course to teach election coverage, but seeing as how this is an off year, we decided to make it all about covering the environment. From air to water, from suburban sprawl to energy, from agriculture to sustainability, the southeast Georgia region has a lot of environmental issues going on, and the students of this class will report on them as active journalists.
Also, the students will be maintaining a social media presence. You can find them on Twitter @EcologyBeat, on Instagram @The_Ecology_Beat, or find us on our Facebook page called The Ecology Beat.
If you have any questions about the course, please email me: jriley@georgiasouthern.edu
This is also probably the last time you hear from me. From this point forward, it's going to be a student-run online publication.
