Now What Argentina? – North Carolina MULTIMEDIA

In 2001, Argentina’s economy collapsed, leading to deep economic and social disruption. Over the past decade, people have found new ways to adapt. Yet old struggles persist and new challenges emerge. Rooted in their culture yet looking to the future, the people ask – Now what Argentina? (link)

I warmly recommend you to take a look at the work Students of North Carolina University did.

UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism & Mass Communication collaborated with Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina to produce multimedia stories about life in Buenos Aires nearly a decade after the most devastating economic crisis in Argentina’s history. This month-long reporting assignment explores the history of the 2001 collapse, the adaptations of the resilient Argentine people, and the enduring culture.

The interface is very light, no fancy flash slideshow, but instead, a javascript based website, relying on vimeo for the video player part. « Now What Argentina? » is the perfect example of an efficient multimedia work, very well crafted, nice and clean, focused on the emotion off the story told. All you need to learn is there: simplicity and professionalism.
