WKSU/FolkAlley.com - Kent, OH - USA

Entry #1796 HHeerree GGooeess tthhee NNeeiigghhbboorrhhoooodd

DESCRIPTION: As a companion to the 6-part news series "Here Goes the Neighborhood," the WKSU

web team created a special website that was linked on the wksu.org homepage and News page. The

reports focus on social service agencies and their relationships with communities in Northeast Ohio,

a region that includes major metropolitan areas and rural farmland. Along with audio for previouslybroadcast segments (added as they aired), the site also included transcripts, photo galleries and

multi-media slideshows. The audio was downloadable as MP3 files and available in Windows Media

and Real Player formats. While the stories were written and produced by the professional journalists

in the WKSU newsroom, the website was primarily created by student workers from Kent State

University, including designer Zak Kruszynski and photographer Pat Jarrett, with assistance from and

under the supervision of senior WKSU web staff. The Flash-built slideshows (which used unique

audio as well as audio from the broadcast reports) created by Jarrett add true depth to the series,

telling the story in a different way. The photo gallery added a visual element to an audio report. The

special features on the website added value to the news series for the WKSU audience.
