FLYP: More Than a Magazine
We’ve come across a great new multimedia site called FLYP that we highly recommend. FLYP is an online, multimedia magazine experience that combines video, text, animation, audio and other elements into a new kind of journalism. Produced biweekly, FLYP reports on topics ranging from politics and economics to personalities, art and music. For example, recent coverage has explored how Hispanic immigrants are becoming American, what happens in MIT's toy design class, and the sounds of New Orleans' The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Enjoy FLYP at www.flypmedia.com.
