VG’s story ‘Death dive‘, about divers who died and were injured in an accident in the cave Pluragrotta outside Mo i Rana in March last year, made it to the top in the category storytelling.
The jury said the story is “pioneering multimedia storytelling on a very high international level”.
“The way they alternate between the traditional format and the new long read-model is compelling. This is a very dramatic story, told in video, still images, text and animation. It is brave to leave all genre rules to tell a story on its own terms”, the jury said.
