Flash Journalism

Jessica Malnik

Flash journalism has several advantages. Flash provides interactive elements that will help to keep the desired audience engaged and focused on the website. These interactive elements include everything from photo/audio slideshows to interactive graphics and maps. All these interactive elements provide more in-depth storytelling. For instance, audio/photo slideshows provide a more detailed and visual account of a particular story. Slideshows often add a personal touch to a story. On the other hand, interactive graphics and maps provide the readers with more information in a creative format. Flash journalism is becoming more and more prevalent in newsrooms, and I believe that it will become even more important and useful in the future.
