Ideas for working with spring sports reporting class

Incoming sports editor Matthew Bunch and I met today with Miami Herald sportswriter Michelle Kaufman, who teaches a 500-level sports reporting class in the spring. Matt and I took the class last spring and tossed around ideas with Michelle about how we could integrate the coursework with the newspaper.

Michelle was very receptive and had great ideas. Here are some of the plans we discussed:

-UM sports blogs, live blogging during the games

-A multimedia project (video package or audio slideshow)

-Dedicated page on TheMiamiHurricane.com for each sport

Please feel free to discuss these ideas or add any of your own by hitting the comment button below.
