There is something about a NYtimes online articles. They are such an appropriate blend of investigative reporting and proper adoption of new media. Wrapped neat

  Their Snow Fall piece was so well received that a startup created a platform to sell to media outlets who wanted to create similar immersive pieces. NYT article about it: http://futurenytimes.org/reviews/interactive-storytelling/ http://futurenytimes.org/reviews/interactive-storytelling/ Venturebeat article about Storied: http://venturebeat.com/2015/02/12/storied-launches-publishing-platform-to-create-the-next-gen-of-snow-fall/ http://venturebeat.com/2015/02/12/storied-launches-publishin...

    Are there any publications using Storied? My concern is that using a third party service will always be sub-par compared to a setup like that at NYTimes, where the developers, designers and journalists all work in the same building.

      Looks like they list a few here: http://www.storied.co/partners http://www.storied.co/partners I agree re: NYT, especially. They seem to be taking platform evolution very seriously.

      Gimlet Media's "Startup" recently had an episode saying that pretty much all large media companies now have a division that makes media for hire (articles, videos, whatever). https://gimletmedia.com/episode/17-words-about-words-from-our-sponsors/ https://gimletmedia.com/episode/17-words-about-words-from-ou...

  They're great for this kind of reporting. Really bad at others where their biases come out, like Israeli-Palestinian reporting.

    > ... Israeli-Palestinian reporting. That's just how American reporting and politics work. Ironically, Israeli newspapers are more likely to be critical of Israel.

      I would imagine that in Israel, it's easier to criticize what Israel is currently doing without the assumption that you hate Israel's existence or, worse, Jews.

        It's just factually incorrect that "the media" in Israel is more critical of Israel. Regardless of political bent, media outlets in Israel usually do a better job of reporting on the conflict than does the NYT. The Times of Israel, IMHO, does the best job of accurately reporting the issues. They have some great op-ed and analysis writers. This guy in the US does a great job of analyzing the NYT's coverage of Israeli and Palestinian news. https://tayaravaknin.wordpress.com/2015/10/15/series-revising-news-at-the-ny-times/ https://tayaravaknin.wordpress.com/2015/10/15/series-revisin...

      That's actually not what I mean. It's not being critical of Israel, but rather, substandard journalistic integrity when writing on Israeli-Palestinian affairs. For example, the use of the passive voice when describing Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis, purposefully burying the lead, or other such media malpractice.
