Flash Journalism

Gretchen Pressley

Flash offers some interesting options for catching the audience's attention and for encouraging interactivity. You can create buttons, tests, etc that the audience can use to get involved with the stories. However, since Flash is so new and no set rules for journalism have been set down, it is very easy to get too involved in creating a cool graphic and forget the journalism side of things. With more practice, we will know how much time to spend on the creation of Flash while still getting the good journalism that goes behind it.
