MediaStorm’s 2015 Year in Review

  • Post author:

2015 was an important milestone in MediaStorm’s history. With the support of our entire community, we were able to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. It’s been a decade since we created our first story, and we’ve continued to push the art and form of storytelling in myriad ways.

In my little corner of the world a dream was taking shape. I had spent 10 years working for MSNBC.com and Corbis trying to shape a way forward in visual journalism. At a time when many mourned the “death” of the profession itself, I was excited at what was now possible. I was fascinated by the idea that I could use new technologies to innovate on how we report, present and distribute stories. I refused to believe that it was impossible or financially unsustainable.
