A real life news production

Upon entering the Knoxville News Sentinel my first reaction was, "Wow, this looks like a museum and not a place of work." After walking through the newsroom where all the reporters were, well, reporting I thought it looked like a scene out of Office Space. Then, we met with the online reporters and producers. I then came to realize that online journalism is not for me. Not because I don't enjoy it or think its cool. It is because I would not be very successful. Thankfully for Scripps their employees are better than I would be. The producers talked of how multimedia friendly the website has become. I could not agree more. I found this story which really interested me. I had not even heard about it anywhere else. The video just tied the whole thing together. Another amazing feature is the coverage of traffic on the website. Now that is a feature that can be used. Overall, I thought the trip was well worth it. I know our teacher did because it backed up everything she has been saying.
