Tapestry Media is the student-produced digital platform of Tapestry, the alumni magazine of the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts. Tapestry Media is an experiential initiative that allows students to write, design, and produce multimedia content for stories related to people, trends, and events within the Edwards College. The material for Tapestry Media begins in ENGL 392/JOURN 361, a cross-listed course taught by Sara Sobota, principal lecturer in the Department of English, and Bob Batchelor, assistant professor in the Department of Communication, Media, and Culture.
In Tapestry Media, students become the reporters, photographers, content producers, designers, and curators for Edwards College media. As a participant, you’ll make decisions, offer input on content, and work within a media team. You’ll learn all aspects of writing feature stories and gain insight and information about the Edwards College. You’ll learn how writing is a crucial element in news distribution and promotion for any organization or institution. You’ll learn to read creative nonfiction critically and analytically and practice interviewing, developing an angle, conducting research, drafting, editing, and revising with ongoing guidance and input. You’ll also receive instruction on multimedia forms including video and podcasting and have an opportunity to create multimedia content. You are eligible to gain one or more professional bylines, as all stories produced in Tapestry Media are considered for posting on the Tapestry Media website.
Tapestry Media is open to all students, including those interested in writing, graphic design, digital culture and design, multimedia journalism, photography, and visual art.
