This is one of those NY Times articles that are partially animated and I got to say, I really love when they do this, it’s NY Times content at it’s absolute best.
The topic of this particular article is Singapore, and how the city is already planning it’s self-structure to fight global warming.
It was written by three journalists: Pablo Robles, Josh Holder and Jeremy White, they do a terrific job explaining on what exactly Singapore is doing, working flawlessly with the animations to convey exactly what the point is. It’s to the point, attention catching and above all, really important.
As mentioned before, I am sucker for these types of articles, especially with future generations getting shorter and shorter attention spans, It’s a great way to grab someone’s attention and educate people in one of the most creatives solutions to a problem that affects every single one of us.
One day I would really like to learn about how they make these articles, as I feel like it would be a great skill to have.
I’m with you on the multi-media stories and the animations.
I didn’t see this story, but I saw one recently about all the
properties trump owns in NY that was interesting. There was
also one about how 13-year-olds use social media.
