While the world’s press leader discussed the future of journalism at their annual summit in India, 17 WKU students and instructors demonstrated it – and the professionals were wowed. The Western Integrated Media team traveled halfway around the world to cover the 2009 World Newspaper Congress and World Editors Forum with podcasts, vidcasts, audio-enhanced photo slideshows, interactive video, geotagged images, full-length magazine articles, a highly interactive website and a host of other media. “The team from WKU played a substantial and central role to our communications efforts, providing the bulk of multimedia content for a variety of conference blogs and websites and bringing information from the events to the industry at large,” said Larry Kilman, WAN-IFRA Executive Director of Communications and Public Affairs. “The students and their professors were competent, professional, enthusiastic and self-motivated – it showed in the quality of their work.” They had a lot of fun, too.
