These two chapters on Flash Journalism were very interesting, especially since I did not know much about Flash before reading this. These chapters were very informative about not only what flash is and why it is important, but also why flash should be used in journalism. The first chapter I found especially interesting because it entailed all of the wonderful things that a program like Flash does for journalism, and specifically for convergence. Journalism is all about opening people’s eyes to new ideas and events, so I think Flash is just one more tool that can be used to take people to a different place and put them right in the middle of whatever is going on and experience it from the inside. Sometimes just words or just pictures are not enough, and we need other things to compliment them in order to tell our story, which is why I think Flash is so important, especially in a field like convergence where this can really be taken advantage of.
