Flash Journalism

Flash Journalism can be either a weapon or a tool. For most, it is intriguing ad captivating. I am a person who likes flash journalism and the dramatic effects it can add to a story. I find many stories in this form more enticing and touching. It helps make the story real and connect with the viewer. Many times, pictures and sounds can tell far more than words. Without such scripted descriptions, flash journalism allows for the viewer to make their own judgments about what is going on in the picture. It gives the audience more power to feel how he/she chooses. Natural sound is the special ingredient in flash journalism. It takes the viewer to the time and place and truly puts he/she in the position of what the slideshow is telling about. Sometimes, people will argue flash journalism takes away from the journalist's full power to tell the story from the angle he/she chooses. It is somewhat of an opinion but I think in certain situations flash journalism can add a whole new level to the story.
