It may be unrealistic, but sometimes I wish there was some sort of standard or protocol for on-line journalism portfolios. But the problem is that on-line clips are not only text-based stories. Sometimes they are multi-media "clips" with text, audio, and even streaming video.Does anyone think that a completely web-based portfolio makes any sense? That is, a prospective employer simply goes to the web site and read the clips and looks at any other multi-media work.Steve-----Original Message-----From: HCJ [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Allison SteinbergSent: Friday, March 30, 2007 7:40 PMSubject: Re: clips from online publicationsI save clips from websites as PDFs.

Printouts should work, with the URL provided for confirmation on the printout or in a cover letter. In any e-mail communication, you would obviously include live links.
There may well be some tricks to this I am overlooking, e.g. a link that is unstable, a page that is taken down. Perhaps it pays to save one's online clips as webpages.
