Multimedia packages

Dezembro 18, 2008

I have to talk about 3 great multimedia packages. Let’s see:

They were chosen because of those characteristics (each one has some of them):

interesting issue, great pictures (emotional and informative), graphics that help to understand what happened, good stories that were well writen, elaborated and well edited videos and interaction with the readers, allowing them to be part of the story

What about headlines

Dezembro 8, 2008

My assignment is:

Find 5 great web headlines (on news stories or blog entries) and 5 headlines that don’t work. Post to your blog, describing what makes the good ones work and why the others don’t.

OK, let’s go

5 greatweb headlines (because they are interesting, creative, original or just straight to the point)

5 headlines that don’t work (because they don’t say much about the stories or just aren’t atractive)
