It’s been a year since the global financial crash and the demise of investment bank Lehman Brothers. This week, Reuters has released a new multimedia online documentary - Times of Crisis - featuring an in-depth timeline of the past year, showing the effects the crisis has had across the globe. Reuters used over 1000 entries drawn from its range of news coverage and financial data.
It’s not the first high-profile multimedia project Reuters has promoted. Last year, it released the film Bearing Witness: Five Years of Reporting War in Iraq, which brought together news photography, video testimonies and graphics to provide an insight into the daily obstacles faced by reporters and photographers on the ground in Iraq.
