Flash By: Lindsey Weygandt

Flash Journalism is an effective because it allows the viewer to interact with the information available. It permits the viewer to take in as much information as he or she chooses. Flash is a convenient form of multimedia journalism because the captions help to accessorize a story by detailing a relevant image. The automated graphics also create a sense of curiosity for the audience. As soon as one caption pops up on the screen the viewer wants to know what other information the image has to offer. I believe that Flash is a very useful tool that journalists should utilize in order to enhance a multimedia story.
