I most liked Marshall's multimedia element this week because her photo slideshow told a story, and it wasn't your run-of-the-mill, gas-prices-are-too-high, boo-hoo, cry-me-a-river story. Marshall's "When I was 19..." piece dove deeper and managed to put faces and voices to the rising gas prices. She made the hard news come to life, which is something I for one would like to see more of in the multimedia journalism arena. In short, it was nice as a viewer to see how the sudden rise in gas prices is affecting other people just as it is affecting my pocket book, too.
I most enjoyed Marshall's reporting skills in her multimedia piece. Not only did she. feature a college student so that our class could relate, but she also featured people of all ages. I thought the "When I was 19..." angle was simple, yet genius--it tied the piece nicely together and gave some perspective as to just how much gas prices have increased indeed.
