JN3800. Map Skills Test

For the Multimedia Production module on my course, we have been examining how hyperlocal journlalism can be used. By looking at stories from a small area this allows for more in depth stories.

In the module we were told to create a custom Google Map, using four articles from 'The Lancashire Evening Post' newspaper. On this map we were asked to locate the stories and then create interactive features, whereby clicking on the pointers on the map, the reader can find more about the stories, such as the link to the original story and a link to more information on the subject.

To show that I had understood the task properly I also explored some of the other features, such as icons and images.
