Plan a package
Think beyond a single story – break information into sidebars and infoboxes
If there’s a strong visual element, use multiple photos – in print, online or both
Use maps, timelines and other informational graphics to tell the story
Create a logo for the package Include an index to direct readers

the community Plot emergency shelters, first-aid centers,
open stores and other services for victims

Set up memorial sites for people who have died
Create discussion topics on related issues -- Should gun laws be changed? Did the campus deal with the traumatic event responsibly?
Allow people to share their experiences -- where were you when the big one hit?

Serving your communtiy
Think about the problems this trauma has created and how technology can help solve them.
What voids can your news organization fill? What useful information can you collect and
share? How can you use new media to help people
connect? Think about packaging your coverage so readers
have a one-stop shop for information.
