Interactive Narratives

The article that I selected to view was one from Interactive Narratives, and it portrayed the story of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise. It discussed the team’s brutal decade after becoming an expansion team and its struggles to its rise to the top where they are now, playing the Boston Red Sox for the AL pennant. But the article did more than what any normal newspaper article would have done, it used is online capabilities to its advantage and has many interactive features that enhance the article. The article uses a timeline, pictures and videos of the early beginnings of baseball in the Tampa region, the franchise’s beginnings, blunders, and ultimate success. It provides much more information than any normal newspaper could contain and makes it more interesting to read.
