Dai, a multimedia producer at the San Jose Mercury News, is one of the early innovators who used still photography mixed with video to tell a story. With the release of DSLRs, I'm seeing a lot more of this type of storytelling coming from primarily newspaper still photographers.
What I am seeing now is a growing atheistic movement that runs counter to the TV style of wide, medium and tight sequencing. I find the mixing of stills and video to be a tricky balance, but when it works--like in Sugano’s piece--boy does it work!
I think newspaper multimedia producers talk a lot about being different than TV. Is the Sugano Atheistic how we will define this difference?

family's struggle to stay together after the father is deported to
Mexico.
