Soundslide in an interesting place…

I have come to enjoy Soundslides as a form of journalism, but I have an admission: I had, to this point, though of them primarily as a form to be used by a print publication to take advantage of photojournalists at a news scene. I was surprised to find a very nice soundslide package on a barrista competition

at CNN.com. It’s a great package, but as I look at it I keep wondering how they got the images — are these stills from a video shoot, or does CNN have still photographers on staff? If they’re stills from a video, why did they choose this form?

You know, I may just have to make time for a couple of calls to Atlanta…
