What a year. ABC News Digital faced a challenge as a truly extraordinary year drew to a close: how to sum it all up? The solution? Our team created a storybook exploration of the most memorable moments of the year, inviting users to navigate a powerful combination of narrative storytelling, descriptive imagery, and compelling, original video – all done in only a way that the digital space allows, covering: -Heroes -Disasters -Film -TV -Hall of Shame -Breakout Stars -Fashion -Romance -Trials & Tribulations -Revolutions -Lives Lost -Barbara Walter’s Most Fascinating Further extending the interactive experience, our team also created a unique destination page for all 2011: The Year content. Through a series of engaging stories in our exclusive photo & list story format, blogs, and original digital video, we covered: -Top 9 Legal Cases -Top 5 Worst Trends -Top Political Scandals & Exclusive Investigations - Top 5 Annoying Celebrity Couples -Top 11 Scandals -Great Films, TV Moments & Breakout Stars In each effort, we engaged the social space – sharing viral stories, soliciting audience votes, and user-generated feedback. It’s novel, inventive, engaging – and, yes, even fun – tackling both the serious news subjects that defined an incredible year and the amusing stories that both baffled and entertained us. ABC News Digital submits “2011: The Year” for a 33rd Annual Emmy Award in the category of New Approaches: Arts, Lifestyle & Culture and kindly thanks you for your consideration. |
