By journalism shifting to web based story telling instead of always using traditional methods, such as print and television, there is so much more that can be added when telling a story. in this text we learn how different features, explored by Silvia and Azur, can make your story more relative to the individual reader and make them feel like they’re part of the story. The web isn’t just a place to retell news, you can create stories that are created for the web, adding to the news sphere.
We find that using things such as audio and video clips, can add depth to a story and the readers can get what they want to hear and/or see. Providing links to other websites can increase readability and peoples likeliness to return for more stories. And slideshows can add interactivity to a story, therefore engaging the reader more.
With all of today’s technology, stories can be uploaded to the web anywhere at anytime, making the news more relevant to the moment. New and exciting features can help make stories more engaging and personalised to each individual reader. This new form of journalism creates new ways for the readers to experience news, where they can feel like they’re part of the story.
