Interactive Narratives

The article that I discovered in “Interactive Narratives” describes the Torrey Pines South Golf Course. This is where the 2008 U.S. Open took place, and this article provides features that a newspaper would not be able to provide because of its online/interactive aspect. The article, published on the San Diego Tribune’s website, gives the reader a view from the tee and from the green for all 18 holes. It makes you feel like you are actually there on the golf course, and even better yet, playing the course. While the article also gives a brief description of each hole, the video footage it provides is just imagery that words in a newspaper cannot match. This article is an excellent example of how much more beneficial online journalism, specifically the interactive aspect, can be.
