My five favorite interactive websites
I have always enjoyed a robust online experience, specifically when it involves a site that includes rich multimedia. But there are five websites which I have a really high regard for, with regards to multimedia. First, the New York Times has always been a go-to for me. This venerable newspaper continues to offer great writing and reporting, but its photos and videos are without compare. Their photographers and videographers are first-rate visual journalist.
ESPN.com is sort of like the New York Times in reverse. You think first of the brilliant broadcast sports coverage that this network offers. But their website features great writing from reporters like former New York Times editor Don Van Natta and others. So this is my second choice for favorite websites.
WBEZ.com is another great website which offers a rich multimedia experience. WBEZ is first and foremost a great radio outlet. But its website offers some compelling interactive graphics which sets it apart from other news organizations in Chicago.
Like WBEZ, the BBC is a radio-based operation which also offers a rich multimedia experience, including the best in audio, along with great photo galleries and great written reports. This is my fourth favorite multimedia website.
My fifth choice for an excellent multimedia based website is my hometown newspaper, the Chicago Tribune. Not only do they offer great journalism, but they have incredible graphics and photography.
