New York Times' "In Poverty and Strife, Women Test Limits""

New York Times' In Poverty and Strife, Women Test Limits, features a different kind of revolution in Bamian, Afghanistan.

It is one of the most peaceful corners in Afghanistan, and yet Bamian faces a new group of revolutionaries; women.

They are driving cars, working in public offices, and police stations and most importantly sitting in on local councils.

There is even a female governor, the first and only one in Afghanistan.

In order to effectively describe this story, the article is not enough, but with the aid of a few multimedia elements, the reader is able to complete the full picture.

As part of the packaging the New York Times included a map featuring the small civilization in Afghanistan. 

It also includes a video, which features the interviews of various female professionals, who share their opinions of female empowerment in Afghanistan.

The inclusion of a photographic slideshow, is another element within the package used to give the whole story to the reader.  

Even though the slideshow is a nice additional element, in this story however, both the map and video are more effective in conveying the importance of the story, since one acts as a visual informational tool, and the other gives the story the voice it requires.
