A Selection of Web-based Multimedia

I'd like you to examine the multimedia examples below and try to work out how many different kinds of writing went into their creation.

Go to the Immerse interactive essays and explore each one (they're quite short)

Stay with this story alone, and investigate the video, resources, etc. that are available to complement today's news.

Magic, Illusion and Detection in turn of the Century America
An unusually interactive history site

Salon Audio
Explore the main story, but also look at the archive on the left, such as Top 20 Spoken Word Recordings, etc.

Weepers
An interactive multimedia poem
