This document provides guidance on elements of good multimedia storytelling. It discusses combining different media like video, photos, audio, and graphics to tell a more complete story. Each medium has strengths - video to show action, photos to capture emotion, audio for ambient sounds or compelling quotes, and graphics to illustrate complex processes or data. Examples are given of news outlets that effectively blend media like a slideshow of abandoned foreclosed homes or personal audio accounts of living with medical conditions. The key is including different mini-stories in the most appropriate media to connect all parts of the multimedia story.
