There are multimedia aspects of The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Associated Press, which was featured on Yahoo! News, that were good and bad when they covered the Najibullah Zazi story.
All three stories contained embedded links, which help cut down on extra background info that would make the stories longer and harder to read. Also, they allow for the readers to do research for themselves.
The Times' article has two photos, one of Zazi and one of his Lawyer, which add to the story.
The AP only has one photo with their article, but there is a link to a slide show in the sidebar, allowing the reader to dig deeper if they choose.
The Post's article is the only article to not have a photo that accompanies the story, which seems odd.
The Post's video, from CBS News, is the shortest and probably the best edited. It has graphics and a great pace.
The Times' video, from Reuters, drags on with long awkward quotes from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
The AP has videos but they provide more background info than anything. I would have liked to see a more recent one.
