Great selection of photos arranged in a slideshow. Brief narration but quality of photographs more than makes up for that. Comment from photographers operating in Iraq. For the pessimist...images could be larger.

Not only does the following example show how speech can interact, not just anchor a slideshow, it also sheds light onto the lives of photographers on a newspaper. With personal comments, it makes the news ‘story’ seem a lot less bland. This is very similar to a blog-they give opinions.

This is a very successful narrated slideshow. It clearly demonstrates how this form can bring the nature of news to a more personal level-especially listen out for the voices and emotional impact.

An excellent example of a narrated slideshow that has all the qualities needed. The audio brings home the terror-it gives meaning to the recycled (and new) images we see here. This type of slideshow is like a restoration of history.

Narrated slideshows that thrive most, nearly always seem to have an element of emotion, as this one does. My only criticism is that sometimes it can feel like you're watching a movie, which is somewhat contradictory to my last point I know.

"A near breaking news package on the day of terror, Sept. 11, 2001. The package includes a timeline driven map, slideshow of images, and an interactive display of the ruins."
