Idea for Multi-media News Story

The event that I believe would work well as a multi-media piece is the annual UNH Local Harvest Feast, which takes place on September 24 at three separate locations on campus (Stillings Marketplace, Philbrook Hall, and Holloway Commons). The event, which was started in 2005, was created to raise awareness of the food that is grown and produced locally to the UNH community. At the event, people can not only sample the food but they can also meet the very people who are producing, growing, and harvesting that food. This interaction allows people to become aware of how they can help support the local economy by purchasing their sustenance from a local source. With the university becoming a more sustainable and health-conscious environment, this event brings together not only members of the outside community but it gives UNH a chance to showcase their own efforts to provide local, organic food (the same that is being served at the newly renovated Dairy Bar).
Covering this event from a multi-media perspective involves taking photographs of not only the food being served, and consumed but it involves capturing the interaction that is going to occur between the local farmers and their prospective customers. Interviews would be conducted with both UNH officials who can comment on the direction the university is going but also consumers and producers. To supplement the photos, video, and sound I would also include a graph/chart that could show how the event has doubled in size every year since its inception. I would like to show how UNH has changed its policy towards the food that it serves by tracking the amount of local food served at dining halls dating back a number of years and show how it has changed. I would also like to provide something that would allow me to show the potential health benefits of eating a diet based around locally produced, organic food. I am not sure whether that would mean a visual aid in the form of a chart or a graph.
