My five favorite websites for multimedia

I have always appreciated rich multimedia online. And I throughly enjoy viewing mulitple sites for their video, graphics and photos. There are some sites that are better than others. For instance, one of the best websites that incorporates multimedia is the Pulitzer Prize winning "The 1619 Project" from the New York Times, which covers the history of African-Americans in the United States, going back to the first slaves which arrived in this country in 1619. I also loved the Vanity Fair presentation which looked back at the 2020 unrest which occured through the world after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. This presentation, called "We Are All George Floyd Now", beautifully utilizes gifs, video, photos and first person accounts of that time five years ago to show how this incident was a major flashpoint in American history. Another favorite multimedia-rich website that I enjoy is Cartoon Research, which delves into the Golden Age animation. One of my favorite sites for sports multimedia is ESPN. As you would expect, this site is not only rich with statistics and well-written essays, but also multimedia, include game-day hightlights, interviews and panel discussion. Another favorite site that features extensive multimedia is CNN. This news site offers CNN reporting as seen on television. And it also offers original digital-based reporting online. e
