MultiMedia/Convergence Reporting

Reporters today have to write content for more than just one platform. In may cases, multimedia reporting may indicate doing print and online for today's journalists. Vicki Lim has been doing reporting for print, online and TV for several years, winning awards and providing content across multiple journalistic platforms. Below is a sample of a story that transcended all three news platforms in Tampa where she was the consumer reporter for WFLA-TV, The Tampa Tribune and TBO.com

  • PRINT - Smoke Alarms Fail to Wake Teens
    With each shriek of the smoke alarm, Mary Clark of Tampa became more and more anxious. The doors and windows to the house were all closed. But the ear-piercing beeps were so loud, even her neighbors who stood in her driveway could hear them. But her 3-year-old son JC and their 7-year-old neighbor Brianna didn't. Both slept through the alarm perched just a few feet from the bedroom.
