Audio working!


Success!


After several days worth of struggling, messing around with different programs and finally lighting upon something that will work, we got our sound editing software to work.


Which means, for those who may have read earlier, we will finally get those city commission candidate audio interviews up!


Be looking for those before Saturday. That should give you guys the whole weekend to listen to the audio and draw your own conclusions.


Thanks for the patience.

Audio issues


So, we’ve been having issues getting the audio from my city commission candidate interviews prepared for online streaming.


We have an e-mail out right now to the developers of an audio program we use to see if we can’t figure out why it isn’t working for us. The audio is playing back fine on the computer, but we need to switch the file from .wma to .mp3 to make sure it works on our website. This will also help us edit the audio to take out me asking the questions.

City Commission Elections


Just quick update to let you guys know that starting on Monday, the print and online editions of the Dodge City Daily Globe are places to go for coverage of the city commission election.


Because the format has proven popular in the past, the Globe will run seven questions between Monday March 24 and Saturday March 29, then Monday March 31. One question a day, and we will provide a verbatim quote from each candidate on their position.

Reporter's Notebook: March 15, 2008 Candidate Forum

The more and more we talk about how newspapers need to evolve in this new market, the need for news to be more of a dialogue continues to crop up. So, in an effort to let you guys know pretty close to everything, giving you the chance to decide what effects you the most, the Globe Blog is starting the "Reporter's Notebook."

Expanding multimedia coverage


So, I realize there has been a nice long gap in updates, and for that we apologize.


Anyway, if you read the last update, we finally put the Daily Globe’s very first writing style guide into effect. The purpose behind the style guide was the fix consistency errors when referring to local items that are commonly found in the news.

Putting on some style


A style guide is one of the most basic pillars of newspaper journalism. It offers writers a chance to present a consistent style to the readers. It helps avoid confusion and gives the reporter a bare-bones view on how they should be putting their stories together.


So, why didn't the Globe have one? That's a question that I asked myself the day I started here. Of course, we used the Associated Press Style Guide. All newspapers do. But, what happens when our reporter needs to write about the Dodge City Commission?

Ask me how I know

Of newspapers and video

I'm writing up my second entry in this blog with a bit of trepidation, as I'm sure the whopping three people who read the last post are clamoring for more.

The knowledge of the blog at this point is pretty limited, as we've been struggling with the Web site on how to make the blogs a bit more visible.

Hopefully we'll get the kinks hammered out soon. Also, I'm hopeful we'll be able to pester corporate enough to updating our Web site.

So, to the couple people who know about it, welcome back!

Welcome!

It's interesting to note the varying degrees to which newspapers have reacted to the advent of Internet news. The original Little Hen response was to declare that the world of newspapers was falling to pieces.

Why would people want a stodgy old newspaper when they could have instant access to news on their computers?

Some newspapers embraced the technology, leading the forefront of convergence (the marriage of newspaper writing with new media techniques). Others drug their feet, hemming and hawing about the need to preserve the newspaper.
