Students in Monterrey create their own blogs


Here are some examples of blogs created by students at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in Monterrey for an Olympics of Digital Journalism.

You can get the idea of some of the possibilities for publishing not only words but photos, slideshows, video and graphics.

This entry has a light-hearted cartoon about the twin worries of contracting dengue or human influenza.

The blog rehiletee showcases student artwork.

The blog Jovenomía focuses on getting a debate going.

The blog Sugiere-me also is a space for debates.

Get over the fear, get started

It´s fairly simple to start a basic blog using Wordpress or Blogger. Get a friend to help you get started.

What I tell journalists is to start the blog and gradually add elements as you learn more. A blog can evolve over time and become more and more sophisticated.

My own blog has gone through several transformations. Some of the early work is a little embarrassing because it´s so simple, but it´s a learning process.
