Storify

I am currently enrolled in a Journalism Ethics course with professor Mead Loop. We are in the midst of working on group projects all based around different media outlets. My group is covering Storify.

I had never before heard of Storify. I had no idea that it existed or what it was capable of. It seems I wasn't the only one either because each time I mention the site to one of my friends they say, "do you mean Spotify?"

Storify is actually a really neat website. It almost combines all pre-existing social medias into one. It allows for viewers to sort through information based on a word or phrase. It enables them to see photos, videos and stories shared by real journalists at prominent publications or even citizens who happen to catch something on their phone.

It seems that a majority of the world is unaware of Storify. Right now, it is mostly a journalistic tool. Once it catches on, however, it has the potential to be a very powerful site.
