What are the basics characteristics of Google Maps and how to create multimedia map and graph? This week, students of the School of Web-Journalism learned how to draw up their maps in order to illustrate web-story.

„Considering the fact that the use of unrestored sources of energy is limited, there will be changes in using natural planets sources. Because of good strategic position of our country, the plan for Southern cours is to go through Serbia. This can be seen by looking to key points of gas pipeline (map 1).

Using the graph and map as an illustration Gordana Erić wrote that Ukranian-Russian gas crisis, which is happening on every winter, this year is really serious.
„The President of European Commision Jose Manuel Baroso stated that he will suggest to European energy companies to prove legal action against Russian „Gasprom” and Ukranian „Naftogas”, unless they find the way to end crisis letting the gas to sprout to European customers. Serbia reproduces only eight per cent self-absorption of needs for gas. Therefore, our country must have in future the best relationship with Russia, the state with the biggest reserves of gas in the world.

Using the graph as an illustration Dragan Milošević looked back on a Facebook phenomenon.

„I thought it was a joke. Facebook is perhaps the most popular on global network. Many young people, from eight to eighteen years intensively use Facebook. For a long time, I was not devotee of all that but…the number of those people that joined me from the moment when I „OPENED MY ACCOUNT” started to grow rapidly.
