The power of an image is strong and many times an image alone can tell an entire story, whether it is exciting or eye-opening. It would be interesting to see how The Washington Post will continue archiving its multimedia content for readers and viewers. It definitely gives you a fresh lens on the world.

Topics range from: politics, arts and living, nation, world, metro, business, sports, travel and education. It’s almost like flipping through the print version of the newspaper except in more dramatic detail. You can up close at courtside at the latest NCAA basketball game.

By flipping through the images, anyone can understand what our guest speakers have been emphatically discussing. The range of stories and culture present in our own backyards are amazing to view in visual form. There is definitely something for everyone.

The slideshow feature is great because it has a futuristic feel when you scroll through the images and read more details. Even international news feels closer to home by viewing the galleries.

Pick a topic.
Tell your readers: What's the point?

Break down the content to the important details.
Make everything easy on the eye.
Animate your topic with multimedia tools…there are tons!
