Flash Journalism

By: Lauren Foreman
Combining elements of photography and audio help to really place the reader in a scene. The difficulty that comes with this form for me is determining when to use video as opposed to a slide show. I can appreciate this option when in a video, the audio content or visual element is not strong enough to sustain an entire piece. Sometimes the video simply is not strong enough in presentation. The slideshow in this case is a much better option and often enables the reporter to capture the intensity of the scene.
