Flash Journalism

The more media consumers turn to the internet for their news, the more they expect, technologically speaking, from the internet. Photo slideshows, animated infographics, and packages are just three ways users can interact with the news in a more interesting way. Often, this means holding a person's attention longer, but it also allows he or she to consume news at his or her own pace and as often as one wishes. It also allows people to interpret many aspects of a story. Unlike newspapers that can only provide text and photos, flash journailsm provides text, visuals, audio, and interactive graphics that expand a reporter's storytelling capabilities and gives the user a complete account of an event.
