    Here's another NY Times Multimedia Article that is somewhat similar to the one we looked at in class. Is it possible to do something similar to this? How effective do you think it was?

    This layout is incredible. The time in the beginning caught my eye immediately and the interactive image was engaging. Having audio online would be awesome. I was having trouble loading it but I heard a story and it was so much more engaging to hear her voice and emotion rather than read it. The description is more vivid and listening to a primary source like this has such an impact, especially for a story of this magnitude.

    The fact that the image had the runners named and then zoomed in with the profiles and soundbites made the tragic event that much more emotional. Just the shots of the participates alone brought a lot of empathy to the article and I thought that the recordings involved were a nice touch. The loading speed was a little slow but the visually and emotionally capturing content was definitely well worth the wait.

    "Patiently respond that, for Ms. Cyrus, twerking is a brazenly cynical act of cultural appropriation being passed off as a rebellious reclamation of her sexuality after a childhood in the Disneyfied spotlight, but, in the end, who are we really to judge? " This sentence just summed up everything I feel about Miley Cyrus

    I find this article pretty funny, especially since my grandma asked me just yesterday about twerking. She probably would have had no idea what twerking was if the New York Times hadn't written an article about how to explain it, which ironically parents are far more likely to read than their kids.

    This is a well-written, well-executed satirical piece that does an effective job of highlighting what I believe are the actual problematic aspects to Miley's twerking (the cultural appropriation rather than her right to display her sexuality as she saw fit, even if one doesn't personally find it attractive), while also offering humor to make it less pedantic. This medium hopefully makes it easier for old straight white guys to process the incident.

    I think this is a very important article to publish in response to the VMA twerking media boom because it takes the focus off of Miley Cyrus but it doesn't try to ignore her involvement. It's true: we are not to judge. This is not the first or the last time that a child star has done something that could be perceived as an attempt to gain media attention or to throw off an image they created in their early acting. This moves away from comments like "Miley Cyrus needs to keep her tongue in her mouth," and towards that relatable comic episode that we have all experienced when our parents ask us about things that all teenagers know and that parents can't seem to figure out--like a meme.

    I think this article is extremely well written and effectively and intelligently points out the motivations for and problems with Miley Cyrus' twerking debacle. The medium puts it in a form that many adults and younger generations will understand, "the Talk" but also gives the problematic aspects of Cyrus' performance due credit. It's entertaining but not offensive and the author clearly knows what he's talking about.

    First of all, content wise, I completely agree with Mae. As far as the writing style goes, I love that the writer created a role reversal between a teen and their parents. Their writing made it seem to a helpful parenting book, preparing parents with responses and reactions when their child comes up to them and asks where babies come from. It was comical, but also brought up some good points/opinions.
