The NY Times does this kind of "presentation story" all over. I rarely read more than the first few captions, because I can't stand the continuous scroll format - it reduces the rate I can absorb the information in such articles by a factor of 4 or more, and increases the work required to get it (particular on the eyes, because reading text scrolling over pictures is hard eye work). I hate 'em. Give me text, charts and graphs, with pictures if they actually add something to the information in your story.
