For this weeks blog I chose Andrew Beale’s story as the best. I liked the part of his headline of Safe Space. I also really liked that his story ended with how the rainbow flag was burned, symbolizing the need for a safe space at UNM due to discrimination. The contradiction between UNM being safe but adding the contradictory ending shows that UNM has been in need of LGBTQ.
I think this is a good story idea because it’s an organization that is present at most universities. I knew UNM had that center but I thought it was older than a year, so I liked getting that information. I also liked knowing what the center does, such as HIV testing. I also liked that it was written well and was easy to follow along with.
However, the soundslide was a little to long for my liking. I just have a really short attention span. But also he lists what the center does in his soundslide and he also writes in the story. I think by cutting out some of the images (like the hallway and the stairway) and shortening the interview, the soundslide would’ve been much more powerful.
Overall, I liked this though.
