Back in 2008 220mmjaubg.wordpress.com was a blog used as a resource to teach digital journalism to undergrads, at the American University in Bulgaria. In this programme, students learnt how to report and produce multimedia news for the web. They created their own multimedia news sites and blogs using video, audio, text and pictures. Through lectures, direct experience and practice, they refined their understanding of the very different demands web-based news production made on their writing, interviewing and editing skills.
