McCartney's video about internships is especially entertaining, and it is also a great example of how multimedia journalism can enhance a story. Her video puts a face to her story and brings out human elements that print is unable to do. I most enjoyed the dichotomy McCartney's video created when paired with her print story, showing both the good and bad, the beautiful and the ugly of internships. The video is fun, light-hearted, and refreshing, while McCartney's print piece is brutally honest and somewhat pesimistic.
McCartney's print article is clean and exceptionally written. She also brings up a good point with her piece: with the economy the way it is, more and more businesses are relying on interns as free labor. Interns save money for a business and it makes financial sense to find an intern who will work for free rather than paying a full-time employee. The problem with this is that when an internship is completed, there are rarely full-time, paid jobs available for the intern.
The only critique I have is that some of the interior shots are a bit dark, and I'm sure a color-corrective filter would easily lighten the video up. Otherwise, great job!
