Cedar Valley Today, a mobile-first news app, and Knight Vision, a live-streaming app, are available for iOS and Android devices.
On the Knight Vision app, users can watch everything from a wrestling meet to a music concert or a Sunday chapel service. All programs are offered live and archived for later viewings.
The Cedar Valley Today app is the home for all content created by the department’s student-produced news program. The interactive application allows users to catch a live broadcast, catch up on the latest headlines, and even share their own “news” through the You Report function.
Both apps were created by Adeboye Olaniyan, a sophomore majoring in digital cinema and production and public relations.
“Mobile media is our future, and I am excited that we can empower our students to explore digital content and platforms through application development,” said Travis Bockenstedt, who holds the McElroy Chair in Journalism and Communication. “Our department is committed to teaching students how to work with mobile content, measure analytics and learn how storytelling works on mobile devices and social media.”
