Flash Journalism Chapter one

In chapter one of A New Form of Storytelling, I like how the author says under Slideshows with Photos and Sound that “the slideshow format does not constitute a new form of storytelling. By itself, it is simply a new way to present or deliver photojournalism. It was interesting to learn that storytelling has existed since 1855 when Roger Fenton went to Balaclava to photograph the Crimean War. It would be interesting to see these pictures to see how slideshows has evolved over the decades. I also like how the author describes how audio adds another element to the story being told. It stimulates more than one sense that you get by just a picture.
