Keith Jenkins, Director of Visual Journalism, NPR formerly Supervising Senior Producer, Multimedia, NPR The ambition here, throughout these pieces, attempts to force us out of understanding through knowledge and into understanding through feeling largely succeeding with its variety of storytelling for the eye, ear, and heart. We finally reduce the experience and, by extension a life, to a single object, a folded paper boat, set adrift on an eternal sea. In one, we are led through a collage of media – photo, video, sound, and take a journey through the natural world and the world of the mind. The ‘triptych’ presented here challenges our perceptions of multimedia storytelling, presenting the viewer/listener with stories that are both linear and asynchronous. Finally, the work was of a consistent high quality that could sustain repeated viewing revealing new layers of content each time. The work that stood out was consistent in its storytelling and execution consistent in theme and approach, and consistent between the stated intent and the final result.
