This half-day session will focus on how to plan and to execute stories that can be told across a spectrum of platforms, using the latest multimedia tools as well as open source tools available on the Internet. From text to video to interactive graphics, newsrooms are increasingly starting to produce articles combining these elements together to provide readers with rich, engaging storytelling. In this workshop, we will look at some of the successful multimedia storytelling, and discuss what those tools are, how to use them in storytelling, when do you decide a story needs several layers of multimedia elements, and how to do it all without distracting the readers and keeping the story grounded in solid reporting.
