Visual Medium

After reading the Poytner article, I would agree it is most important to keep your focus when you are writing a visual story. It is very easy to want to make something visually appealing and in turn loose the important aspects of the story. 

I believe that it is important to think about the way the story looks and is shot, but it is more important to have a well focused story. As a journalist it is important to tell the story first and then to think about other elements. However, as the world becomes more and more focused on getting the news now, it is these visual elements that will make a difference to people.

If you write a great story and can add equally as great visual elements to it, people will remember and trust  you for the news.
