*Decided to keep the questions in for contexts*
1. Why would a professional journalist want to create an online resume site or web presence? Because the internet is the most popular place to get information, and social media thrives in that area.
2. What kinds of tools are available to build your site? There's Wordpress, Google Sites, or Blogger. Or if you really want the most complex programming there's Adobe Dreamweaver.
3. What considerations do you have to keep in mind regarding branding and consistency? How does this helps a reader or potential employer find you? When you want to be a professional journalist, try not to overdo your layout with poorly done drawn and over the top colors, because that makes you unprofessional. Give your website a simple layout and color scheme, make it presentable to the eye.
5. What types of files will you collect to present and link to (be thinking what types of digital formats)? I'm not exactly sure what you mean, I think it's about pictures, in which case it depends on the file size. If you want your website to load faster, I recommend gifs.
6. How will you organize your site? Explain and provide one link from a search of professional journalists' websites as an example. What I would do is to show the most recent examples of my work at the main page, as well as give a brief overview of what I do. Like this one. https://raminzahed.journoportfolio.com/
7. How can creating a professional web presence help you work or represent yourself better as a professional? If you are starting out, then it's an excellent opportunity to get some constructive criticism from other internet users. One of the best things about the internet is that anybody from anywhere can help you.
