As you have seen (since I emailed this to all of you), please read the following announcement from Dr. Hughes. The article that you post on Mobile Maine News should be a byline:
Mobile Maine is a web-based community journalism initiative, seeking to strengthen ties between Maine residents and the University of Maine students and faculty. Mobile Maine will link student journalists with community members to provide a unique type of news content where stories are told on a neighborhood level–not just about the community members, but by the community members. There are four coverage areas: environment, arts and culture, business and commerce and government.
Your first posting to Mobile Maine News was an editorial about convergence and consolidation in journalism. I've been looking over the posts and they look great! If your post is selected for publication, an editor will be contacting you in the next couple of days with needed changes.
In the mean time, please go to the website and update your profile. You should use your first and last name in your username and update all of the fields, including the biographical sketch. You can use your blog you created for class as your website. You should also upload a professional photo of yourself. Usually, this would be a head shot (shoulders up).
When you post a story, the first text you enter in the text box should be a byline:
Name
Date
This gives you credit for your story. You should also add tags that will help readers find your story.
