This is an exercise where you should focus on the technique to put elements together in WordPress. It is an opportunity to explore the way of telling a longer story. You will use the cathegory “Sandbox” and hopefully it will encourage you to play around and try over and over.
The text and the images are copied from Wikipedia. There are also videos from Youtube and Vimeo. It is all about Florence Nightingale and your task is to try different ways of making a nice story.
Keep in mind that we don´t have the copyright and that we only can publish this on a locked (password-protected) website!
If you want, you can use just a small part of the material – or you can use all of it – and other stuff as well.
In further assignments you will use WordPress for publishing your articles, and also longer narratives.
In the data journalism course you will work with interactive graphs and maps, and you will publish them in stories like this as well – using embed codes.
You will find the text here:
All images are uploaded in the Media library – use them in your article!
You will find the original material here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale
How to do this:
Make a New Post and put your name as headline (we have to do this at the moment to be able to see who has made the different posts) Important: Choose the cathegory “Sandbox”
Use Block-editing and start with the real headline (or if you would like an image at the top, followed by the headline).
