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.
