Covering Bhutto’s Assassination Via Interactive Media
I’ve been interested in the American newspaper’s progress during the digital age. It’s been a major struggle, as even the best of print journalists have very little understanding of new media.
But there’s a terrific slide show from John Moore, a Getty photographer, who attended Benazir Bhutto’s last rally, where she was assassinated, and posted on the New York Times site.
Moore talks in the first person over his photos, bringing you into the story far more effectively than in your typical print story.
And there’s also an “interactive timeline” provided by the Times that’s simple, but informative. Nothing spectacular — but they are making progress.
