Just a quickie in case you missed –
NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2008 Winners, Multimedia Packages
Some surprises! Go and look! (Zach Wise’s “Soul of Athens” — yes! MediaStorm’s “Black Market” — yes!)
Smart advice from the judges:
This was a difficult category for us to judge because each entry had a little of everything we were looking for, but none had them all. There are holes in multimedia packages that are being produced across the country. We need better graphics, photography, audio, video, interactive designs, and usability to make a package work.
To make a more comprehensive package, photographers, editors, graphic designers, and reporters should collaborate at the beginning of a story. None of the entries brought together elements of strong visual journalism and the technology of the web.
Highlights the use of audio, video and animation in the presentation of web-based stories. Judges will pay special attention to the use of available technology to complement and enhance the art of visual storytelling.
Entries may include single galleries, slideshows or video, as well as packages that include multiple elements that were grouped and published together as a single story or theme.
Content, usability, and interactivity are key to this celebration of cutting-edge storytelling.
