“I always used to say when I was web editor ‘we’ve got to tell stories in ways the paper cannot tell them.’ So a New York Times reporter, for instance, now is called upon to think about the story in terms of web elements, interactive graphics, video-storytelling, additional photography, perhaps putting more documents up and supporting the story”.
Doesn’t that sound like it’s straight out of the syllabus?

Yes, it does. This class has made me think about how to really take advantage of the internet. Just the other day I was writing a little online story about my recent skiing trip. I included google earth to show the location, flickr, to show my pics, links to the BB I stayed at etc. How long would a letter have been to describe all that. The only thing that was missing was a video clip showing my first run down a diamond trail. Seriously, there are no words to descibe that - only bruises (that have now turned yellow and green) and a proud smile to show for :)
