Online Journalism and using different mediums to tell a story

What exactly is the different when telling a news story through text, audio and video?

I think about many things in life, sometimes I have no real straight alley in which my thoughts work. Often times I will be all over the map when thinking about something. But for issues like this it really makes me understand a concept better. What are the advantages for each?

Well for text,
Advantages
You are able to go in-depth and evoke the imagination of the reader. A good written narrative would allow the reader their own choice on how to see something.
Disadvantages
It takes some time to read, and it seems society is kind of hard pressed for time. It is also easy to lose someone’s attention if they are not the reading type. Grammar and spelling can also break a story.

For Audio,
Advantages,
The story is told to us, and it can be better because we can actually hear the emotion in a quote. It could mean a totally different thing from what was written in the paper by just how it sounds.
Disadvantages,
Body language I think tells a story better than a voice. You perceive people different when you hear than compared to seeing them. I think this is why people get scammed from phone criminals.

For Video,
Advantages,
People can see everything: the facial gestures, the voice and the setting around.
Disadvantages,
The story is one sided. We do not let the person fully make an opinion. It is like we are showing them our view on it.

I took all three of these into account when I did my piracy story. The best model I found out was to take some from all aspects because in the real world there isn’t a me in team. I see each sector as a member of the team, and from experience the work gets done better if everyone pitches something in.
