Flash is almost the only form that allows journalists integrate text, still photos, audio, and even video into a single interface to demonstrate and express what they are experiencing to their viewers. For instance, through slideshow, a journalist can easily put photos and natural sound he has already collected or just music which can best match the theme. It is a more simple means than video but sometimes can be much more impactive.
Furthermore, flash allows the interactivity for the viewers. Designers can create elaborate (or simple) custom interfaces for flash movies, with buttons, sliders, and other controls that match the tone and style of the content package.
However, every reporter should make flash package very cautiously, because either music or natural sound may manipulate the viewers' emotion. That will certainly not meet the norm of journalism.
