✍️Summary:
 
 
 
This is a piece of news on Financial Times (Feb 29 2023), which reported the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The title of it is From “paradise” to hell. (You may need to subscribe FT to view the following link)
 
What impressed me the most was the style of this news article. It includes text, videos, pictures, annotated satellite maps, and data charts (I put some screenshots below). A variety of presentation formats are well combined to make it very clear how the earthquake destroyed cities.

The news reminded me some articles published on Science and Nature, which also highlighted the possibility to incorporate more rich media contents into academic papers.
