Haiti

On msnbc.com this web video is very impactful because it's about the cholera outbreak in Haiti but the reporter is actually in Port a prince and so the viewer can see exactly what's going on and how serious it is. I liked how when they first heard about the story they put something small together to get the word out, but as the information sufaced the story was told in more depth and had more footage so they added to it. I really like how the reporter used the visual aspects to tell the story. It was easy to access and when it was done i had the option of adding it to twitter, facebook, or other convergence outlets. The story tapped into the emotions by showing two children about to die so you felt connected to the story in some way.
