I have two topics that I would like to write about for this class, one would include arts and culture. New York City offers various stories about different cultures since this is a diverse city. I would write about communities or neighborhoods that are unfamiliar to New York residents.Many groups live in several neighborhoods in the city that originate from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe. However, I have always wondered if there is even a Brazilian or Paraguayan neighborhood here since many who reside here are of Mexican, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian, Argentinian or other backgrounds.For the arts, I would write about interesting museums, events or plays that are important to New York residents or people who are involved in the arts that have interesting stories to tell the world.
Regarding choosing multimedia elements, for culture I would choose photos and probably videos, only if there is some movement occurring or something unordinary. For the arts, perhaps photos or a podcast if I would to write a story about a play or a museum. If I were to write about an artist or someone in the arts field, I would include a video.
The second topic I would write about would either be about the environment or about animals. I love animals and I think animal cruelty is a big issue, at least for me it is. Poor animals are used for experiments and I think it’s unfair for them. Also, stories about the environment involving global warming and the use of fossil fuels never seems to get old and surprisingly as the years pass by, the idea of global warming sounds more logical and real. If I were to use some of the multimedia elements for animal cruelty, it would be a podcast and for the environment, video or photos.
