When I walked into the Knoxville News Sentinel I didn't really know what to expect. I had never been to a publications office and I thought there might be some old time newspapers in the lobby or something. However to my surprise the building was very modern and equip with the latest technology.
I figured that most of the people in the newsroom would be running around like a chicken with their head cut off too but this was also not true. Everyone was quietly sitting at their computer doing their own thing.
The people we talked to were extremely knowledgeable about their fields. They talked mostly about the website which also surprised me. I would have thought that a newspaper wouldn't know much about running a website but they did.
The Knoxnews website is highly advanced and creative.
The amount of video the website uses is amazing. One particular video stood out to me. The Restoring a Treasure was very cool. I love watching restoration shows on television and to see one in Knoxville is very cool.
The only downside to the website is the amount of pictures, or lack there of. I did not see many pictures at all and that is one of my favorite parts of stories.
I learned a lot on my trip to the Knox News Sentinel and plan to apply for an internship next semester.
