Hey everyone,
I wrote the press release for the bombing but I have some questions about the news article I should write. I'm thinking maybe I should wait until I see what you have written about the even so that our stories can coincide. Is this ok? if anyone sees this before 5pm just comment back, thanks!

Re-Cap of Tuesday
Jenn--
Here is a recap of what we did today...
By Thursday have a brief outline of what your story will include. We decided on having one main location i.e hospital for red cross, school for civilian, etc..., 4 additional locations/events throughout the day and the endpoint is going to be the council of ministries (mountainlair) where the bombing will take place. Compile all of your information in a Word document. We will need to have all pictures/links/videos by next Tuesday.
We decided there is going to be a "talk" given by the ex-mayer of Baghdad which will be why we are all at the Council of MInistries. You will be there reporting the event, Ann and Casey will be attending the talk, Cara will respond to the bombing.
The specific tile of the speech is real and is as follows:
RFE/RL's Radio Free Iraq (RFI) correspondent Ahmad al-Zubaydi interviewed ousted Baghdad Mayor Ala' al-Tamimi on 9 August by telephone after he was forcibly removed from his position on 8 August by armed men supporting Baghdad City Council Chairman Mazin Makkiya.
If you want to search the actual speech contents google "ousted mayer of Baghdad speaks" and it should come up.
Next tuesday night at 5pm we will be meeting at the CAC with the guys to put together our stories and the interactive maps. Because we are meeting at 5 we won't be meeting at 1.
LAST: For our presentation, check out the link Camera Zapper. We have divided up the rest.
If you have questions email us!

April 8th Meeting
Ann Murray - I am going to be doing the civilian.
Cara Folk - I will be an American Red Cross worker.
Jen Krebs- I will be an embedded reporter in Baghdad's greenzone.
We were planning on using the mountainlair as the greenzone bombing site. We will also be using a hospital, the expressway, and whatever else would be relevant. If you have any suggestions or questions please email us.

Interactive Map
Hey group 4,
Doug and I (Scott) will be working on the interactive map this weekend. We are going to do a photoshoot between now and saturday for the map. We wanted to know what key buildings we will be substituting for buildings in baghdad. Please let us know asap so we can get these photos.
We've been brainstorming ideas for how the map would work. Our idea is to use a map of Morgantown and have highlighted the key buildings. Upon mousing over these buildings a rollover of its Baghdad equivalent will appear (probably photos from Google Earth) and stagings of events that we come up with. The rollovers will be 3-D; we will take photos of the buildings from different angles and these will stand on top of the 2-D map.
Also we will not be able to have our meeting on sat. april 12th at the cac. If we could meet another day that would be great. We can talk about that tuesday.

Sorry about missing
Hey everyone, sorry i missed class today. Is there anything in particular I need to do over break?
Meeting times and Map question
We are a little confused about the map portion of this project... we know that we need to overlap morgantown and baghdad to figure out where things are relatively located but we don't know what medium to use... CAC guys... do you have any idea?
We are planning on meeting every Tuesday during regular class time...1:00 in Colson G18. April 1st we should all get together to figure out what the heck we're going to do!
If Tuesdays don't work for some reason, post the times that you are available on the blog.
Have a good break!

Project 4 Initial Post
We found a great starting point website that will give us a good starting point for our map: Green Zone
If everyone just wants to go through and kind of pick out specific things we want to do for next class when we meet as a group. Try to be thinking of a perspective to take and how this story would play out. If anyone has a specific idea before then please post the idea on the blog and we can all look into creating the background information. We were brainstorming about the actual final project, and we were thinking that maybe we could write up all the information and since you all are more familiar with creating a website (we know nothing about it) you could possibly take care of creating and laying it out. If you have other ideas about what role you wanted to take just post what you were thinking. Also just any other information, questions, or concerns that you feel relevant please post and if you could send an email that you posted something new on the blog. Thanks!!
