I think Flash, as a multimedia tool for jounalists, opens up the multimedia floor for all kinds of journalists (whether citizen or professional or... both) to produce high-quality, small-file-sized news productions without necessarily having to use really hi-tech equipment or computers. In fact, i think it gives so many people the opportunity to make Flash productions that it creates a competitive sphere in which journalists are constantly looking for the best way to present a story which, unfortunately, sometimes translates into the FLASHiest way to tell a story (hah.) I think there is a lot of trying too hard in the world of Flash journalism, and not enough focus on producing a sleek, simple, visually engaging and enjoyable production.
