My First Storify: NNPA Sharpton-West Discussion

This is my first attempt at Storify, a new digital tool to make stories by curating social media and to which I was introduced while attending the "Teaching the Craft of Writing (in the Age of Twitter)" seminar at Poynter in May.

It involves my first attempt at live tweeting, and its from the 2011 convention of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (aka Black Press of America) at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Taken from the Rev. Al Sharpton's luncheon keynote and a discussion between Sharpton and noted academic Cornel West about the state of Black America and having the first black president in the White House.

Absolutely amazed by the feedback to this first Storify attempt, especially from the NABJ Digital Task Force and it getting cited on Richard Prince's Journal-isms, a blog about diversity in the media. All that has led me to seek to do more Storifys and even to update this attempt as coverage warrants. (See the added content at the end.)

I like seeing how you are using new social media that I have never even heard of before. It is interesting to see the feedback you got using this new social media tool.

For this post, I am a proud little student as I know I was helpful with my own website in inspiring you to use Storify –– just beautiful.

I'm still intrigued with how you were able to add video and photos to the Storify. While this is a Twitter/Facebook based type of site, it would be nice to be able to upload photos that were not able to be tweeted, etc. For this piece however, you had a nice blend of photos, text and tweets which allowed the story to flow better.
