Multimedia packages

Hey peeps,
I visited msnbc.com and I found that the use of both pitures & videos helped to bring the message of the particular incidents across. The story I views was entitled "Protest force Olympic torch dimming." The video captured of the scene when one protestor attempted to extinguish the Olympic flams as it made its way through Paris, France. I found it effective because it provided on on the spot action as the protest action continue.


The other story that I found captivating was called "Robber hypnotizes store clerks" A multimedia report which highlights the plot of a man who hypnotizes the clerks at supermarkets before he robs them. It was interesting to see how the robber worked, trying to get his victims under his "powers".



And finally the 3rd report was called "Albino gator becomes media hit", a story about an unusual aligator who is on tour with a reptile show in the US, and has generated alot of media attention, since he, called White Diamond, is believed to be the only albino aligator in the world. I have never seen a white gator much less for an albino gator, and to hear about the attention he is getting is remarkable.
