June 12th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Multimedia, Online Journalism
Inspired by PBS MediaShift’s Mark Glazier, Courtney French looks at multimedia done badly, illustrated by a variety of examples.
“Most reporters today have been told in newsrooms and in journalism schools that they need to incorporate audio and video into their storytelling. And with the help of graphic and web designers they can put together some really amazing stuff. But reaching the ‘smart multimedia’ point can be tough, especially since the line between too little multimedia and multimedia overkill is so subjective.”
