A message from a student at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario landed in my inbox today:
The e-journalism class at Loyalist College will be launching the 2006 edition of Portal Online, on Monday, March 13, at 10 o’clock in the morning.
Portal Online 2006 is an online magazine produced by students of the e-journalism program at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario. The stories in Portal will show how new media technology is being merged with traditional journalism.
The three principles of online journalism are to educate the audience, engage people in a dynamic discourse, and to empower individuals to become involved in a community through digital technology and the Internet.
Portal's stories cover a wide variety of issues, from gambling to spirituality and from cesarean sections to gonzo journalism.
The students are hoping for some feedback, if you can spare a few thoughts next Monday …
