Multimedia story, response from Manu

The multimedia story “A New Dawn?” conveys a powerful message. What most struck me after watching the story was how different media can work together in making a great story, or a story great. In “A New Dawn?”, and other multimedia stories for that matter, emotionally charged words of the people and music along with the photos really add great value to the story. When compared to some of the winning shots of Stephen Ketz, John Moore, and Steve Liss that I also looked at, the photos also succeed in gaining more weight because of the long captions; however, they lack the same strong feel generated by the multimedia pieces.
