With the web becoming more and more prominent in our everyday lives, multimedia is becoming a significant and influential part of how people access and obtain information on a daily basis.
There are a lot of aspects that contribute to a good multimedia piece. As far as online news goes, there are a lot of things to think about when covering online stories. One major thing to consider is the length of the story. Most readers will appreciate short online news stories that save their time. The reader should be able to obtain the information quickly and easily, leaving no possibility for any confusion. If possible, the writer should use lots of lists and bullets. Lists and bullets get more attention and allow for better comprehension than ordinary sentences and paragraphs.
In multimedia, it’s also extremely effective to include both visual and audio aspects. Such as pictures, videos, graphics, verbal readings, etc. Both of these help enhance the readers experience and reinforce the story by appealing to multiple senses.
Web stories should also use hyperlinks. The Internet is a place where people connect, and websites should utilize this benefit to the best of their ability in order to create and provide a more interactive experience.
And finally, readers should have the chance to talk back. Allowing people to comment on and discuss news stories can not only allows the reader to feel more involved in the experience, but it provides both excitement and opportunity for those reading the news story.
