A great multi-media piece relies on many different forms of media coming together to not only create the news story, but showcase the news story. Take your basic written story and flare it up with different genres of media. Add pictures to a devastating story so that people can see the true impact. Instead of just writing down an interview, use the audio clips to show the various emotions the person you were interviewing was doing. Videos are a great way to show what is happening in a particular story. All of these elements in a story together can really add to the story and attract people to read it. We now live in a society where people don’t want to just read, they want to see and hear the news. Different elements of multimedia have almost become as important to the stories as the actual stories themselves. Posted below is an example of this on a story from cnn.com.
