Hack the News

STEP 1: Find and Remix a News Article

Pick one news story on their website and change the following items:

1. Change the title;
2. Change at least one photo/image and it's caption;
3. Change the text for at least one paragraph of the story;

STEP 2: How do you change an image?

If you click on an image, you might find something similar to:

<img src="http://thisisawebsite.com/thisisanimage.jpg">

The "image source" is the web address, or Universal Resource Locator (URL), for an image. It's the location of that image in the web. You just need to replace the URL to change the image!

PRO Tip: You can use Google to search for images. Once you have found an image you want to use, click on "View Image" to get the image URL.

Here is an example from Dr. Friedman.
