Cat Bytes Online Magazine

Cat Bytes online magazine is produced from the ground up by the students of the Internet Newspapers and Magazines class. During the semester, students learn about nonlinear writing techniques, adding value to a story using pictures, sound, and movies, using the web as a research tool, and creating web sites.

Cat Bytes began as an experimental class taught by Professor Glen Bleske, and is now a part of the curriculum.

"We were searching for ways within the department to give students some real-world experience at creating an online product other than The Orion," Bleske said. "This can increase the marketability of our students."

"The students, I think, are finding this to be an interesting way to be involved in storytelling," Bleske said. "It is very low-cost, without paper or printing costs. All you need is students' time. Anybody can do it. Online journalism is limited to people's imagination."
