Other People's Capstones

Over break, I visited the University of Missouri School of Journalism to check out its convergence journalism program. "Convergence journalism" is the buzz word for all forms of media streaming together. For more than you want to know about this important trend in communication, go to USC Annenberg Online Journalism Review . More importantly, check out what students in the Missouri convergence journalism program are doing for their capstones. You might get some ideas! Whenever "strategic communication" is mentioned, that's means PR and advertising. Start with Projects/Teams: Spring 2009 Want more? Then click at the bottom for the previous semester. Good chance I can put you in touch with any Missouri students whose projects intrigue you. Your own electronic pen pals!

  1. The word of Convergence is a new word added to my media dictionary because it’s the interesting thing to know that a single word is used to” describe everything from corporate strategies to technological developments to job descriptions.” Even in politics.

    Moreover, I was stunned after reading about the different capstone projects done by students because they used different ideas as redesigning a website, “moving into the audiobook business. By researching, produce, market and distribute those audiobooks”.
    I think it’s helpful because it expanded the ideas that we might use or apply in our capstone.

  4. I think thses capstones are planned professionally. These people have gone in to details, which is great and that what's make a successful capstone. And it's all about convergence. I liked "Public Relations and Marketing for RJI" the most because I'm also in terested in participating in event planning and marketing.
