The photo package that I chose was called “What you didn’t see on TV: Behind the scenes of the Democratic debate” from Politico.com. I first found this photo package last semester when I did a project on the presidential election, and it was the first one that came to mind when I read this assignment. I love that the photo package was used to give a “behind the scenes” opportunity for readers. Politico does a great job of posting photo packages that tell stories of an entire event. Throughout the entire photo package, the story of the Democratic Debate was told from start to finish. From starting with a “calm before the storm” photo, then continuing on with the arrival of campaign supporters and candidates, I felt like I saw an accurate series of events in order. It would have been a great addition to include a photo of the candidates “in action” instead of them just waving at the end of the debate. Besides that, the photo package did a great job at telling the complete story of the day.
