I read two stories about the seaworld whale trainer being killed by an orca whale. This story, on CNN included a well written narrative that showcased talking to the right people. It also had many photos and videos, incuding a picture of the woman killed (before) and videos from the press conference, and two videos from witnesses. There was also a link to killer whale facts.
As predicted, this story, from people.com, didn't have as much depth. After CNN's coverage, the sole photograph seemed like a weak attempt as multimedia. I also didn't like it as much because the writing itself was as good. It was much shorter, and didn't go into nearly as much detail. Their story didn't offer me anything I didn't know from CNN's story. But, again, being that people is more of a sensationalistic news site, I wasn't surprised that CNN had better coverage.
