Ten pictures taken by Eduardo Parra this week in 20 seconds at the Spanish Senate.

The President of the Spanish Socialist Government is speaking … and dozens of senators are reading newspapers.

Good for the press.

Bad for Spanish politics and politicians.

Wait and see what happens as the iPhone becomes more available!

‘THE BIG FISH’

Multimedia storytelling at its best!

Watch this Toronto Star slideshow about the Conrad Black trial in Chicago.

The multimedia cocktail includes:

Black and white pictures.

Fantastic photo editing.

A magnificent voice (by the writer).

Perfect music.

And a marvelous script.

This is what our mono-media newsrooms need to do in their multimedia transitions.

Because only real journalists can produce this outstanding work.

The credit goes to photographer Lucas Oleniuk and columnist Jennifer Wells.

While The Independent played the typography card today, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph played the big picture one.

In both cases, good pictures, good cropping and good front page design.
