**UNITY '08 Student Projects Deadline: April 4, 2008**
Convention Programs: Student Projects Information
Students and professionals will be working in a “converged” newsroom at the UNITY ’08 Convention. The UNITY website will be the main hub for distribution for all students' generated content and the primary source of news and information about the convention participants and online users across the country. The project will generate a newspaper, produce audio features and short television newscasts. While generating content, students get training in video and audio production as well as webcasting, podcasting. This project is designed to give students an understanding of how to acquire the multimedia skills needed to land a job.
Open to all.
The UNITY web publication will become the main medium for students' contents and a prime source of news and information about this historic gathering for convention participants and online users across the country. Students will also continue publishing a daily newspaper and producing radio and a television newscast while also being trained in video, audio, webcasting, podcasting and multimedia skills that are now key to building a solid resume.
