Jeremy Rue is a lecturer of new media at the University of California-Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. He was previously a multimedia instructor for the Knight Digital Media Center at Berkeley and a teacher of new media storytelling workshops. Rue has also worked as a print reporter, photojournalist, and web developer. He received the 2007 Dorothea Lange Fellowship award for his photo documentary work on migrant farmworkers in California’s Central Valley. Rue partnered with Richard Koci Hernandez, a photographer and assistant professor of new media at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, to publish The Principles of Multimedia Journalism: How to Think When Packaging Digital News.
In their book, Rue and Hernandez explore new and experimental story forms used in today’s digital news platforms and identify classifications of digital news packages (DNP). They provide a history of the emerging formats of multimedia storytelling and the pivotal moments that shaped the various techniques used today. Aimed at students and professionals, the book describes various forms of online media, including audio, video, images, graphics, and text, that journalists can use to tell a story and provide news. These media elements can be woven in exciting new ways into a DNP to provide viewers and readers with valuable information. The book is also instructive, as Rue and Hernandez stress the importance of story design and provide lessons and tips on how to package and combine the various forms of media to achieve an effective narrative structure. Journalists and multimedia producers leverage technology to create new experiences online that engage and inform. The book features interviews with digital, web, and interactive news producers at the New York Times, NPR, the Marshall Project, the London Guardian, the National Film Board of Canada, and the Verge.
Praising the authors’ use of numerous useful examples, S. Lenig commented in Choice that “key to their redefinition is reinvented storytelling and multiple media news design.” Rue and Hernandez offer such examples as long-form stories on the Verge, an NPR Planet Money segment, and video projects with 3D and gaming. The authors also describe various modes of consuming news, such as via laptop, tablet, and phone, as well as the best types of media to use for each. They provide vocabulary of the DNP, including shells, comprehensive packages, and immersive structures.

Principles of Multimedia Journalism: Packaging Digital News
In this much-needed examination of the principles of multimedia journalism, co-authors Richard Koci Hernandez and Jeremy Rue systemize and categorize the characteristics of the new, often experimental storyforms that appear on today’s digital news platforms. By identifying a classification of digital news packages and introducing a new vocabulary for how content is packaged and presented, the authors give students and professionals alike a way to talk about and understand the importance of story design in an era of convergence storytelling.

Hernandez and Rue (both, Graduate School of Journalism, Univ. of California, Berkeley) provide a direction forward for journalists who fear electronic media have destroyed conventional print news. The authors enumerate the advantages of the "digital news package" (DNP), as the proper medium for emerging consumer habits. They address differing consumption modes--lean forward (laptops), lean back (television, tablets), stand up (phones)--and the types of media consumed on each. Key to their redefinition is reinvented storytelling and multiple media news design. Early chapters describe the arrival of medium-specific journalism and an evolutionary taxonomy of the DNP. The authors' taxonomy includes linear stories, shells (storyboarded projects of greater complexity), comprehensive packages (hyperlinked-data fishing), and immersive structures (stories that resemble deep video game structures/ environments) or interactive documentaries. The authors puzzle over creating mutually exclusive categories in the collaging, postmodern, media miasma. However, such taxonomical fissures do not seem problematic here, suggesting that producers/audiences are more engaged by porous media that seamlessly blend. Examples abound, including long-form stories in The Verge, an NPR Planet Money comprehensive tale, and the National Film Board of Canada's High rise, an immersive video project that integrates 3-D, video, code, and gaming environments in a "platform-agnostic" fashion to plunge readers into the story. Summing Up: *** Highly recommended. All readers.--S. Lenig, Columbia State Community College
