NEWS COVERAGE - MULTIMEDIA

These multimedia reporting packages on animal and equine science stories at Colorado State University first appeared on the "Rocky Mountain Collegian" online from the fall of 2014 through the spring of 2015. The majority have a complete audio reporting package, but a few also included a brief story, and/or photo or photo essay, which broadened my skills and the type of online coverage I could give my 800 weekly Livestock Lounge blog readers. The "Science of Stockmanship" piece covering livestock handling was an expansion of a "Collegian" piece covering a beef quality assurance event. The diversity in the animal sciences program at Colorado State University was my part of a group website project. All photos copyright Dixie Crowe.
