It is, hands down, the best digital piece of journalism I’ve seen this year. But while it’s easy to marvel at its sheer visual beauty, this is not what makes this piece excel. What does is a powerful story – of people being trapped in an avalanche – powerfully supported by just the right visual elements to create a unique form of storytelling. The only thing I missed: A subtle, fitting soundtrack to go along with the long read.

From Weekly Filet #97, in December 2012.
