DMNW Contribution to Digital World

Examples from Your Digital World, a feature at the back of section A of the Wenatchee World every Tuesday. Dom & Russ contribute weekly content to the column and its online components.

We're really pleased with how the Digital World is shaping up. Dominick and Russ both contribute to this weekly column in the Wenatchee World, which features content submitted to the paper through social media and trending social media topics.

We've been making a conscious effort to move away from just reprinting engaging pictures shared with the World through social media, and moving more towards documenting events and activities in the community with multimedia, integrating photography and video, and merging the print and digital audiences.

The week before last, Russ, strapped on GoPro cameras and documented the Wenatchee Valley College Knight Fright bike ride and fundraiser in first person. You can see the result at the left in the photo.

Last week Dom and Russ collected photos and video from the Human Connection Experiment, which challenged people to take 60 seconds out of their evening to make a personal connection with another individual through uninterrupted eye contact:

This coming week, watch for Digital World to feature Make A Difference Day. Dom and Russ will complement the World's reports on the day's events with photos crowdsourced from social media, and also put together a video montage interviewing #MDDAY volunteers.
