I think Flash journalism carries both potential advantages and disadvantages. It allows users to easily create slideshows, audio stories, and easily upload video in a common format. Before flash became popular, it was a hassle dealing with the various formats that websites used (wmv, mov, realplayer, etc). But at the same time, I think it's important to remember that simple is good and to not carried away with flashy (no pun intended) graphics and over-the-top effects. I think if using Flash helps improve the content, then use it, but if it's just superfluous effects, I would personally avoid it.
