Project Website
It's Casey again, and after working on it all this past week our website for the 4-20-2013 project is finally up and running. Check it out for more media content!
Final Project Report
I. Title of the project and URL
-Our project title is 4/20/2013 Project
-Our project URL is 42013.cudjlabs.com
II. Members, Classification, and Emails
-Taylor Reed, graduate student, taylor.reed@colorado.edu
-Casey Killingsworth, undergraduate student, samuel.killingsworth@colorado.edu
III. Division of Labor
-Taylor's main responsibility was to manage the project blog, while Casey's main responsibility was to manage the project website. Both Taylor and Casey worked to conduct interviews to get opinions from campus officials concerning 4/20. Both of us also managed to get pictures of the 4/20 event on campus that could be uploaded to the project website.
IV. Resources
- The main resources we used were campus officials Ryan huff (ryan.huff@colorado.edu) and Bronson Hilliard (bonson.hilliard@colorado.edu). We interviewed them both before and after the event to get information concerning the events of 4/20. We also took our own pictures that could be used for content on the website. We used a press release on the CU Boulder website as a link in blog. The link provided post 4/20 statistics and information for the public. We also linked to an article by Brittany Anas from the Daily Camera on our website. The article was titled "CU-Boulder: Anti 4-20 plan 'effective'."
V. Strengths of the Project
-Our project is very strong in terms of information. We found out as much as we could about the 4/20 event, both before and after it occurred. We also have numerous pictures from the event and even audio from Casey's interviews with Bonson Hilliard and Ryan huff. We also think that the design of the website and the use of the blog were effective in presenting information about 4/20.
VI. Weaknesses of the Project
- I think one of the weaknesses of our project is that we were unable to interview police officers on campus during 4/20. They will not willing to speak with us on the subject, they referred us to Ryan Huff, who we both have spoken to at separate times. There was also a lack of protestors on campus this year, making it tough to interview anyone during the event that was opposed to the closing of campus.
VII. Lessons Learned
- I think we learned that it worked well to interview campus officials both before and after the event took place. This gave us some information leading up to 4/20 as well as some reactions after the event took place. We also learned it can be hard to find people who are willing to talk to us during an event like this. It was impossible to gain information from police on campus, and difficult to find anyone on campus who was willing to voice their opinion against the closure of campus. We learned that sometimes it can be difficult to get people to voice their opinions to a journalist during a controversial event like 4/20.
