Today I came across yet another inspirational multimedia package, this time by NPR titled “Traveling Down the Amazon Road.” Multimedia producers documented life along the future transcontinental highway in Peru and Brazil, and nicely blended their visuals with exceptional audio pieces from “All Things Considered.” While yesterday’s post applauded Waterlife for its innovative UI design, I want to highlight NPR’s latest package for its high-quality visual storytelling.
As you are *hopefully* enjoying a lazy day after Thanksgiving, watch this nice Soundslide story by N&O photographer Ethan Hyman. “A home for the holidays” is a touching story about an injured Iraqi war vet who returned home to help build a house and a baby room for his pregnant wife. I’m sure this was a quick daily assignment, but I was happy to see a touching documentary piece amidst all of the Macy Day parade photo galleries and coverage of the Mumbai attacks.
