Multi-media journalism project

Doon Academy’s pupils will be working on a project with multi-media journalism students from the University of the West of Scotland Part of the project aims to have students from the school take part in a series of focus group sessions where they will be asked to discuss the Cumnock Chronicle’s newspaper’s online content. Areas to be researched include methods of creating an improved two-way dialogue with the youths and the newspaper. The focus groups will gauge the students’ interest in regularly accessing the website, reading the print version and engaging in local political and social discussions.
