I liked the graphics heavy style of the article. Also, it doesn't touch upon the brutality of the indoctrination camps. There are reports of them being forced to eat pork, forced marriages,etc. I wonder if this is the closest we can get to NK outside NK.
- mrpopo 8y agoNone of this is like a NK concentration camp. The camps in NK are rather designed around forced labour.
- rst 8y agoThere have been reports of forced labor in the Uighur camps as well: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/world/asia/xinjiang-china-forced-labor-camps-uighurs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/world/asia/xinjiang-china...
- gumby 8y ago> I liked the graphics heavy style of the article I'm glad you posted this because I felt the exact opposite (it's almost always good to have my assumptions questioned). I wanted to read some info but I had to click, see a picture, and then see some small amount of text slowly appear. I closed the tab after seeing that on the first image -- to me it's basically as worthless as a video. I don't have the patience for that and feel that the NYT doesn't value my time. Clearly some people feel the opposite! I would love to see some data on these experiments by the nyt: do they show greater revenue than ordinary articles?
- confiq 8y agoyeah, I thought the same. I don't like websites that require the sounds because these are videos. However, infographics are nice if done well. This one is done well
- pmarreck 8y agoI was on the fence until they used the video to highlight the actual minders and the videocameras. That sort of thing is hard to convey with text. Has more impact visually.
- MayeulC 8y agoI couldn't see the article, I probably disabled javascript on that site some time ago. Luckily, with reader mode I had access to the text, though the images were left to my imagination.
