My three favorite 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 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 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.

My five favorite websites for multimedia
I have always been a big fan of multimedia featured online -- this is what makes online media stories different from other forms of media.
My longtime favorite website for multimedia is TMZ, because it offers up interesting video about celebrities along with accompanying stories.
I'm also a proponent of ESPN, because it uses video extensively, along with text, stats, interactive box scores and other examples of interactive media.
