Excellent storytelling, fluidly integrating geospatial data and other visual elements and statistics in a smooth flow.

Who knows, maybe one day such a "visual space" inside a browser would be interactive, a Google Earth type of thing as far as navigation goes, but with data queries that allow on the fly to populate various widgets. An expert could livestream a story or "save" it for later publication.

Journalism presented as some sort of CD-ROM experience was quite neat when we were all a little bit interested in what web browsers could do.

Today I assume a web browser and/or the device it is on could kill me and eat my lunch given the proper input.

I just want to read an article with illustrations, a format that will never cease to be effective.

The New York Times regularly have this flowing style of stories. It is often quite impressive. Once they did a simple flowless scroll type of story called 78 long minutes, about a scared police force during a school shooting. Very impressive, you keep thinking do something! while reading and scrolling.
