Roy Peter Clark revisits the New York Times' 2013 Pulitzer winner, saying that its multimedia often got in the way of its story: "The problem is that the narrative line is interrupted, time and again, by elements that are marginal to the storytelling. Embedded in the text are tiny icons that signify the visual tools: a video, a slide show. Every time I clicked on one of these, it took me away from the story. Instead of time moving, time was frozen, so to speak."
