One of our very own KU J-School graduates, Justin Henning, is a Web producer for the Palm Beach Post. Here's what Justin shared with me about his experiene working with multimedia.
Not all stories are made into multimedia packages. We usually try to work with the reporter as they work on the story. That way, we have more time to produce something, rather than just throwing up rough audio from an interview.
One great example of this is our Outdoors writer, who did a great package on a man who takes groups on orchid hunts/tours through the swamps. Since we worked with him (the reporter) all along, he was able to take a video camera with him and a staff photographer.
Take a look at the finished story, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. Now this, my friends, is some fine, fine multimedia journalism at work.
