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.
