Story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution
This story just begs to be a multimedia story. Even the use of images that is displayed in the article would be better suited for a slide show. Still, a video could capture the mother's emotions as she describes her son, as well as interlace it with images of the son. The quotes that appear, while good enough on their own, are better if we understand the context. It is easy to imagine the mother crying as she speaks these words.
So much of the story is visual. This may be due to the descriptive phrases the journalist uses, as well as the strength of the quotes. A video would fit the material and create a better emotional response that the story requires.
