Inevitable
"We can make people care about the world if we learn to stop and take the time to tell a good story." - Bryan Storm Panzer, Mary."Photojournalism For the Web Generation." The Wall Street Journal 08 Jul. 2008. . In 2005, Bryan Storm created a multimedia production company known as MediaStorm. This remarkable company holds the future for photojournalism. It's main purpose "is to usher in the next generation of multimedia storytelling by publishing social documentary projects incorporating photojournalism, interactivity, animation , audio and video for distribution across multiple media." With the internet coming alive in the 1990's, photojournalism began to change drastically. It used to be that a story evoloved first and the photograph followed. Now we start with an image and then bulild a story around it. This website has expanded over the years and now currently offers over 20 stories. Storm made his site capable of many convenient tasks such as fowarding articles to friends, making comments on stories, or even buying DVDs and music. Bryan firmly believes that quality is most important and MediaStorm proves that.
This article sparked my interest when I came across it becuase I work in a similar field. I have worked a few jobs for the Richmond Times Dispatch and I have learned alot about photojournalism through the process. I think its unfortunate that journalism is becoming more popular on the internet than in print. However, a lot more creativity and freedom is available with the web and I think Bryan was fortunate enough to figure that out.
