Multimedia Ideas for Final Project with Examples

From the Cheney CNN article, they used two videos, but the video with Wolf Blitzer did not provide any new information. It is a new way of packaging the information, but if I used video I would like to provide more new information than the same information. The video is integrated well into the story, though, and it opens pretty seamlessly into the same window that the story is already in.

On abcnews.com, there is an article about Akio Toyoda's testimony on failures in Toyota's cars. In the article, they use many different multimedia including links, pictures, and videos. They are implemented well, as in the CNN article but they also provide much greater outside information. The video I thought that was the most interesting was a video of experts recreating the acceleration problems in the cars. This was not mentioned in the article, but it gave great background and insight onto why this issue is such a big deal.

In this article from the New York Times, it is a story about work strikes that our occurring in Greece. The article has links that will show other stories that relate to institutions and companies mentioned in the article. In the same way, I could provide links to outside resources that hold more information about the topic, like the Lantern's Twitter and Facebook pages.
