Blog Assignment #2

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/21/us/michigan-kalamazoo-county-shooting-spree/index.html

The types of multimedia journalism incorporated into this news blast are a video, with an audio synopsis of the event. Text to cover interviews and reactions of those involved. And a creepy mugshot of the offender that adds to ominous absurdity of the whole event.

I find this article investigative and informing. They link a picture of the perp to the article and have an interview with Uber's chief security officer, the company he worked for, and get an opinion/statement from his employer.  It also lists the victims of his rampage by name and age.
