We put in a lot of hours at the Spectator, and sometimes we find that we haven’t sufficiently advertised to readers some of the products we’re most proud of. So, allow us a moment to describe one of those products:

As we are all coming upon spring break and getting ready for a bit of relaxation before the second half of the semester sets in, I wanted to take the time to reflect upon how many times my jaw has dropped looking at the amazing multimedia pieces we have created this semester. The introductions, the transitions, and the sound quality have been second to none within the college-daily “world.” I mean, can you honestly find the difference in quality between this multimedia piece on Obama from Spec to this New York Times video piece on Hillary?

At the beginning of the new year and the new 132nd Managing Board’s tenure at Spectator, the online section was the largest it had ever been, with nine total staffers. At the moment, we have grown to a total of five associate editors, five deputy editors, and myself, along with two new potential recruits to be interviewed after spring break. This means a lot for a section which only had one staffer this time last year. Read the rest of this entry »

Amazing Multimedia Pieces

By: Lara Chelak at 1:14 am

There are two new multimedia pieces out tonight. First an extremely interesting story by Maggie Astor with photos by Diana Wong and Mira John, “Seven Hours Underground: A NYC Subway Adventure” and “The Color Chart Exhibit at MoMA” with reporting and narration by Ginia Sweeney and photos by Haley Vecchiarelli and Anna Brown. Our fantastic Isabelle Mills-Tennenbaum produced both pieces as well.
