NY Times Multimedia Section
The multimedia section of NY Times (free registration required) is turning out to be a fantastic resource not only for visual journalists but also for all web designers. They have a search feature which is great for someone who's coming in from the news perspective (e.g. search for 'Palestine ') but no so good for someone coming in from the design perspective, which is but natural as NY Times is a news website and not a design school. But it would be great if there were a meta search somewhere where I could, for example, search for 'timeline navigation' or 'audio slideshow'. I actually rely upon InteractiveNarratives to offer this kind of meta commentary on design. For example, the commentary on this multimedia piece on the Transition in Iraq says that it offers an intelligent design and packs in an incredible amount of information. After checking it out, I agree, it's a great design that involves a lot of charting and information organization and one that should be bookmarked for later reference. And yes, the NY Times multimedia section also has a RSS feed for those interested in keeping up to date with the latest in multimedia reporting (and web design).Permalink | Friday, July 30, 2004
