An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
That's what I experienced the evening of Jan. 25 when trying to report on Grammy nominated band Fun. using the Ball State Daily News's new –- and sometimes bugged-out –- website.
Instead of going to the concert on Ball State's campus, I opted to stay in the newsroom and coordinate coverage with my managing editor, Steven Williams.
(Click here to see the end-product.)
We created an action plan ahead of time. What would we want to cover? How would we cover it? Who would be where? What play would it receive on our website? Steven and I knew we would be monitoring social media, checking our phones for photos and text updates, and compiling everything for the web.
The Daily News only publishes Monday through Thursday. In the past, we would have run this story in print on Monday, effectively being three days late in our coverage. As a part of our digital-first push, though, we saw that we needed not only to publish a story over the weekend, but that we would need to publish as the concert was happening.
The content we wanted to package included:
- Video
- A short, video before of people excited to enter the auditorium
- Another short video after of people reacting to the show
- Stories
- A play-by-play of major events
- A column discussing the impact of the show
- A story covering the after party at a local bar
- Social media
- Live-tweets & a Twitter widget
- Collections of photos
- A Storify
- A live-updating Instagram widget
We decided that as the show was happening, we would banner our coverage across the top of the homepage. After it ended, we would drop the story into the homepage rotator, along with the others.
Unfortunately (but as expected), not everything worked as planned.
- Our "before" video of the audience fell through because of an equipment issue
- The Twitter widget and Storify (and all <script> code, for that matter) are incompatible with our website at the moment
- The Instagram widget worked, but not as anticipated, thus we had no way of filtering photos except through the #BSUfun, and we had to remove the component when people began posting profane photos (a concern we had from the start).
Here's how we ended up playing everything on the website:
- At the beginning of the night, we had a banner across the top of our home page linking to a story. The story simply said something along the lines of "check here for updates on the Fun. concert." We included the Instagram widget, and an outside link to our Storify.
- As things developed, we added them to the story, rewriting as necessary.
- Here's what our home page and story looked like about midway through:
- You can see the Instagram widget on the home page. The photo in the story was sent via text from one of our reporters. You can see how the integration of embedded tweets was awkward because of the unchangeable size of the side elements. I worked around this later.
- After the show ended, we played things differently:
- You can see that the banner is gone, replaced by a photo in the rotator. Also, note that in the story, the photo is replaced by a better-quality photo GALLERY. Below it is a link to the Storify. Later, we added the reaction video under the gallery. We also placed it as its own component on the homepage. See also that the tweets look far less awkward here.
The entire time I was posting updates to the website, Steven and I were checking social media for critical information, as well as sharing critical information via social media. Not only that, but we also attempted to engage our followers with conversations. Check #BSUfun -- the hashtag I started -- to see what I mean.
All in all, this was a good dry run. The concert gave us an opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses of our new site when dealing with live, breaking news and new technologies.
I'm seeing that my interest in news design is integrating well with online journalism. I am able to consider alternative ways to tell stories, as well as how to present elements and information.
Know also that I am gaining an interest in things such as dayparting, managing the Daily News' social media and using Google Analytics to determine when to publish what content.
All in all, my goal is to get good information to the public effectively and efficiently. And I'm loving every minute.
Thanks for checking in!
Stay tuned for updates about this semester –- we have a lot of graphics planned and a talented staff to make it happen.
And, as always, I would love your feedback and advice!

So again, I've been meaning to write for a while.
Unfortunately, whenever I have the time to do so, I typically fall asleep.
But before I pass out tonight, let me share a few bullet points with you about life at the Ball State Daily News.
• The Daily News ditched its domain name (bsudailynews.com) to be a part of Ball State's College of Communication, Information and Media's new initiative, Unified Media. Unified Media consolidates all student medias, so all staff members work for The Daily (the new entity) while putting out their respective products.
• The website (bsudaily.com) has a lot of kinks to work out. I'm currently assisting in solving those problems. I'm also working as an iDesk editor with several other staffers.
• One of the website's kinks is its inability to support Flash. We're working on getting that resolved. It emphasizes, though, how badly I and my staff need to pick up coding.
• The design editor and I have planned a "The Science of ..." series, explaining how different things affect the human body. The first to run will be "The science of getting drunk." We have a "high" version for 4/20 and caffeine version for midterms. For Valentine's Day, we'll have a "falling in love" one.
• I'm presently working with my editors to devise a social media strategy that we can integrate with The Daily. I'll keep you posted on that.
All this while taking classes.
More later.
Adam
