Read an OJR article about the making of the Chicago Tribune's 911 CD-Rom.
"The Tribune has created a "time capsule" CD-ROM approach to telling the story, in a rich, multi-sensory way. The CD contains a variety of retrospective and contextual content, including 10 days of Tribune coverage post-September 11, using video interviews with journalists who covered the story, organized on a Flash-based multimedia timeline, and day-to-day photo galleries, and interactive graphics."
