Illustrative Storytelling

I dont beleive that as convergence journalists we should use the illustrative technique. I think that we could use some sort of slide show, or just a written story to convey what we would in a illustrative video story. If a story is heavy on facts and low on visual and audio effects, then it would be stronger to just write a story filled with facts. Show a few photos and thats a story. I understand with something like KOMU doing a story illustratively because they are somewhat limited to one media, yes the can do online stuff but when the big story of the day has a lot of facts they have to do an illustrative story. I personally see this as a reason to be a convergence journalist.
