Each week Henry Alford of the NY Times gives a quick-and-dirty rundown of things to talk about for the upcoming weekend – a compilation of the week’s events in pop culture, politics, science…every genre that anyone remotely cares about. Well many don’t have time to read all 10, so I’ve kindly narrowed it down to the best for you, so you’ll undoubtedly be the most interesting person in the room.
A great refresher of this decade’s most newsworthy events. How do you say this decade, anyway? The “two thousands”? The oh-ohs?
This is my favorite audio slideshow I’ve ever seen. It’s about some teenagers in Los Angeles who have their own style of dressing and dancing. It’s entertaining and intimate(without being emotional). I like how the creators, Simone S. Oliver and Stephanie Diani, used different speeds of showing the photos to create movement when needed. They also make good use of title slides and minimum captions at the bottom of their photos.
The New York Times developed this multimedia interactive tool to describe how you feel – republican, democrat, or “neither” – after Barack Obama having been elected president one year ago. It’s kind of a mixture of a Tag Cloud and a poll. Love it.
I’m interning at Fox 35 this semester, and on my first night, the video department gave me a warm welcome and showed me some of the difficulties in on-site reporting. How hospitable of them.
Mashable – all things social media, mobile, etc. Gathered Garments – rummage your way to chic
