Farming the Future
This story was very well put together. I loved the mix of still pictures and video, and it worked very well to have the man talking who lived there instead of a narration. The story itself was interesting as well: learning about how tourism impacts the local people and what they think about the foreigners who come visit their island.
Hanging on to Boyhood
I enjoyed the different perspectives shared in this story. It was interesting to hear the views on adulthood from two brothers: they knew each other and could relate to each other, but there was a gap in their maturity, age, and life experiences. However, since they were in the same generation this showed the similarities and differences in life just between the ages of 16 and 20. The pictures and the audio mixed well together, though I am not sure if there was a clear climax in this story.
Human Tide
This story also did a good job of showing a couple different perspectives. Not only were there multiple voices, there were multiple points of view on important topics. I think that this is essential when presenting an issue such as immigration because it is so easy to forget that there are several sides to an issue: we just remember the popular opinion or our own beliefs. Again, the pictures, audio, and video were blended together very well. All three stories were very interesting and well put together.

Rubbed Out
This multimedia package was very well put together. It enabled the reader to dig deeper into what could have happened to this journalist, and was set up in a way to allow the reader to really be involved in the story.
The video itself was very well done. There was a good mix of still shots and video, and the music and narration fit both of these very well. (One example is where there is an abrupt note in the music, and the picture abruptly changes at the same time. Very effective.) I think this was a good example to follow when trying to mix still photos and video, because it was done very smoothly.
The story was also very interesting. I read the first story about what Arthur Kasherman wrote about and what the consequences were. It was very interesting to read about the culture of that time and what the papers did about it.
The interactive line-up was a very interesting point of the story. I think it was important to get the reader involved, and this facilitated that by allowing the reader to vote on which person was most likely responsible for Kasherman's murder. The combination of a picture and a brief outline of who each person was was very interesting to read, especially the information about what the police did (or didn't) do in their investigation.
