This was originally assigned in January via a class handout.

Blog about three photo slideshows that inspire you. Your post must meet each of the following requirements to receive full credit:

  1. They must be relevant to your topic.
  2. Provide their titles.
  3. Identify the people who created them. Include the name of their news organizations.
  4. Briefly describe their content.
  5. Briefly explain what you think is the journalistic value in their content.
  6. Link to them.
  7. Explain what you find inspiring about them.
  8. Ask your readers a question related to the content in one or more of the slideshows you identify.
  9. Assign categories and tags to your post.

Example of the kind of slideshow I want you to write about:
