Multimedia pieces in journalism typically have a greater impact than that of traditional print news.
Multimedia draws in the viewer with sound bites and visuals, all the while being narrated. Sometimes multimedia pieces incorporate a slide show of stand still pictures, while other pieces use edited video segments.
Each method can be effective in its own way, some pictures can say more than a 30 second video; sometimes a journalist only wants the viewer to see a certain frame to point out specifics.
Multimedia pieces take the viewer in even if the story has little relevance to the viewer's own life; visuals put the viewer in the shoes of the story’s profiles.
Sometimes printed stories that take place in a foreign landscape are hard for readers to imagine, however multimedia pieces can transport the viewer to the scene of news for a short time.
