Some Ideas I have for multimedia for my final project on the Schottenstein Center. I guess first off would be The Schott's facebook page. I also think that videos like this youtube video of the Marching Band entering St.John's Arena might be a cool visual to gauge the kind of environment that St. Johns can still provide.

This Story by the washington post is a great example of multimedia. I liked it because of all the links they provided for things like other articles, information on other people, and audio links to excerpts of Kornheiser's show where he criticized Storm. It also was interesting I thought because of the fact that Kornheiser, has worked for the Post for just about 30 years, and the post goes at some length to at least try and explain his actions and note that this is not the first time he's made remarks like this, and that ESPN might be a little sensitive to these kinds of things because of the recent affair an employee of theirs had with an intern.

This Story done by USA Today, is a story on former Oklahoma University quarterback Sam Bradford and how he projects to the NFL. I like it as well for a lot of the same reasons. It's never a bad thing to be reading a story online and see lots of links in my opinion. These are all branches, stemming from this story to provide you with even more detail on the topic, and this story is chalked full of them. Just about every source, and name mentioned in this story has a link to find out about that person. In the middle of the article, there is a link to a similar article about former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow's process of enhancing his throwing motion. I like how it provides reader comments, and related stories as well.

This Story from SI.com as I said in my homework assignment, was really bad in most facets because it was brief and had hardly no multimedia in it whatsoever, aside from noting its availability on things like buzz, twitter, and facebook. There are no links, no pictures, no audio or anything, which is why I think that this article pails in comparison to the Washington Post's coverage of it.
