Multimedia in News Stories

3 examples of multimedia used in news stories:

-The New York Times included an action picture of the olympic skier they did a story on. Its always nice when you can put a picture in your story because its more likely to attract the readers.

-CNN posted this story about the whale trainer that died. This story uses a combination of videos, pictures and a link to facts about whales. I like that the story includes a nice picture of the trainer at the beginning. The videos are nice because they give you a visual reference to the story and the links are good for people who want to learn more about whales.

-The New York Times posts a daily video on the olympics. Being a visual learner I would prefer to watch a video versus having to read the whole thing.
