*Telling Interactive Stories: The New York Times and the Online News Experience* a presentation by *Andrew DeVigal,* multimedia editor for *The New York Times* Tuesday, January 27 at 6:00 pm How do we create compelling online news experiences? First, we traverse the multimedia landscape to gather the pieces of our narrative: text, visuals and data. Next, we design that story as one seamless experience in a simple interface. Oh, and we mustn't forget to make it flexible enough to allow last-minute changes and updates. In this presentation, we'll examine case studies from The New York Times and explore some outside-the-box thinking. REGISTRATION Tickets are $15 for non-members and $10 for members.

Here's Andrew's perspective on the rapid transformation of today's news media: "It's an exciting moment in the industry as new technologies enrich the possibilities of journalism, giving us, storytellers, the ability to better organize and present complex information as well as enhance the experience of telling interactive stories through the fusion of text, photo, video, audio and infographics."
