Now, we can add audio, slideshows and videos to stories to change the way a person visualizes or hears a story. We can add polls to survey students about their likes or dislike. Using the Internet is a part of everyone’s agenda in this day and age, and I feel like we will be able to reach more than DSU students, but a mass audience.”<\/p>\n
While still in print, The Delta Statement received numerous awards from\u00a0the Mississippi Press Association and the Southeast Journalism Conference.\u00a0The relaunched digital version will continue to support student excellence in journalism.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs journalists, we have to learn to adapt to changes in our industry,\u201d said\u00a0Adrienne Berard, instructor of journalism and faculty advisor to the Statement. \u201cThe future of journalism is online, and I\u2019m excited to help students see the thrilling potential in digital storytelling. I look forward to the meaningful work they will produce as the voice of our student body.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
