I wish i could name the rest of the crew at the Sun that are responsible in anyway for the new website, because I love it, especially the multimedia section, way to go Zach! It’s a must see. -r

The Beekeepers is a great multimedia package from the Chicago Tribune. I’ve heard a few editors speak about the idea of trying to cast your stories, basically making sure that the lead characters in project work are interesting enough to hold people’s attention, and Gerald Whitehead, an ex-felon turned beekeeper, is well cast and deserving [...]

The Assassination of Benazir Bhutto is a powerful soundslide from the New York Times that combines John Moore’s striking images from the leader’s last day with a first-hand account of the tragedy. Moore is a phenomenal journalist, and I would not be surprised to see one of the photos from this win a pulitzer prize [...]

We figure almost every publication out there has a photos of the year gallery or multimedia piece. We’d like to check yours out. So please post a link to the piece in the comments area. Thanks.

Will Yurman was supposed to be a coach at last summer’s NPPA Multimedia Immersion Workshop in Portland — he canceled last minute because he had a project that he was working on and needed to be in Rochester. Not Forgotten, Rochester’s Victims of Homicide 2007 published this week in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. It [...]

I haven’t been posting as often as I like, because while I see a lot of Multimedia out there, I don’t always see a lot of good multimedia. And then sometimes I see something that just grabs the foundations and shakes it all up like a rag doll in a pit bulls mouth. Chew it [...]

Dallas Morning News photojournalist Mona Reeder spent three years working on The Bottom Line — mostly on gaining access to some really sensitive situations. The result is some incredibly personal moments, and some heartbreaking story-telling images. By the numbers, Texas is first in capital punishment. It’s also home to the most Fortune 500 companies. Second [...]

The Detroit Free Press photo staff decided to jump into the deep end with Driving Detroit, a multimedia piece that uses Google Maps as a foundation and lays over it videos, sideshows, flip book panoramas, written stories, a public forum and infographics to explore the streets, the homes and the people that make the 11th [...]

The awesome series “Inside the Surge” by Chicago Tribune shooters Tom Van Dyke and Kuni Takahashi is coming to an abrupt end after three parts when the military pulled the plug on their embed in Iraq. They’ve been covering Bonecrusher Troop, 3rd Platoon in a continuing series as they were deployed to Iraq. In the [...]

Last May, photographer Jonathan Harris spent 9 days living with a family of Inupiat Eskimos in Barrow, Alaska, joining them as they prepared for and then went on a traditional whale hunt. And in one of the coolest uses of Flash I’ve seen in a long time, Harris decided to document and present his work [...]

The Ninth Floor is a powerful and important story that follows the lives and loves of heroin addicts in New York City. The photos by Jessica Dimmock are remarkable and the production from MediaStorm is outstanding. Chris

As usual, there have been several notable photo, video and other multimedia projects coming from the Washington Post lately, so here are links to a few of my favorites Left of Boom is a fantastic in-depth look at roadside bombs in Iraq and the U.S. military’s struggle to defeat them. One School’s Struggles is an [...]

In August Koci chastised the Raleigh News and Observer photo staff on this blog for a video that was just . . . well  . . .  under his par. I have to say the staff more than makes up for that video with Ian’s Peace – a well paced, beautifully shot video. Nice job [...]

Multimedia and data are huge buzzwords right now in the j-blogosphere and newsrooms around the country. This week, two big dogs released notable projects that combined both multimedia interviews and data-style content: The NY Times – “Exonerated, Freed, and What Happened Then” This is a mix of audio interviews, statistical data and traditional narrative reporting [...]
