A Good Multi-Media Piece

With the popularity of the internet in today’s day and age, a good multi-media piece is necessary in today’s journalism world; just news stories alone do not attract as much attention anymore. They should grab the reader’s attention and convey the message the writer wants to get across to the reader.

A multi-media piece includes text, audio, video and graphics and other information that pulls a story all together to make it complete.

A successful multi-media piece in some cases is accompanied by an article or a graph or some kind to explain what the sound bite, video or picture is about. Hyperlinks are also important because they provide the reader with supplemental sources to watch, listen or read about the specific topic.
