First is the Worst, Second is the Best

So here I am coming out with Blog #2. I've looked over some of the multimedia sites on the blog and I must say that I'm a bit taken back. Mediastorm was really incredible. This site uses photos, videos, slideshows, and audio to help tell stories. I watched a bit of "The Ninth Floor" and "The Marlboro Marine" and I was captivated. The articles are interesting, but the photos really bring the articles to life. Seeing that marine's face covered in dirt and sweat, or the junkie, decrepit and bloody, does more justice than any paragraph could. You've always heard "a picture's worth a thousand words", but I think a picture's worth a million words.
After seeing how professionals work with different facets of the media, I am excited to be embarking on that same journey. I hope to soon be able to be a better reporter by being able to utilize tools such as cameras, video cameras, audio recorders, and the internet. But as for now, I think I'll stick to my blogging.
