Flipbook

iraqi.gifFor folks not following MediaStorm's potentially revolutionary auction for Ed Kashi/Media Storm’s "Iraqi Kurdistan" package, you can follow his news release and check out MSNBC’s presentation.

The flipbook approach is also very cool and reminiscent of The Chicago Tribune’s "Beyond the Barrier" as well as the 2004 "Their Circular Life."

Site Entry Round-Up (11/19/06)

image.gifA thousand apologies, folks. I finally found a few hours this past weekend to update the database and put in the recent site entries. Some of the highlights are as follows:

  • The Weight – Manny Crisostomo of The Sacramento Bee shot and put together this amazing story of a weight-loss boarding school. The stories were well thought out and beautifully told. The contrasting before and after images on a rollover was a great idea and well executed.
  • Orphans & Angels – Nice to see something other than space-related stories from Florida Today. Tons of material here.
  • Stan The Man – A strong package from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch with great photos and a clean presentation.
  • Sealing Our Border – Some real nice fluid Flash work here from The Arizona Star as well as some friendly graphics. But I think it fell short in putting it together in a seamless presentation.

    As some of you guys may have suspected, I am back to turning Interactive Narratives into a useful resource. I’m into my 3rd week at The Times and it’s been an amazing opportunity to say the least. The amount of smart, talented and committed journalists I work with on a daily basis is inspiring. And as I see it, this is a part of my job: scouring the web in ways to make the industry as a whole better. So keep ‘em coming. And I’ll do the same by showcasing some of the best stuff from the web and not just at the Times. Though I have to admit that I think what The Times did for the Mid-term Elections really rocked. Please note I did say The Times as opposed to ‘we.’ I absolutely can’t take any credit for the work there as I was only a week into the job and all of the work was planned weeks ahead.
