Multimedia Tells Multicultural Story

A local newspaper has enabled immigrants to tell their own stories as part of a recent video project on its website.

The Plymouth Herald promoted October’s Respect Festival, which celebrates multiculturalism, through both traditional reporting methods and by making a series of short interview films with people who have settled in the city from abroad.

“In an effort to explore the growing racial and ethnic diversity of the city we have video interviewed some people who reflect this global character,” states the Herald.

Among the ‘talking heads’ is an Iranian journalist, a council employee from Zimbabwe and a university lecturer who moved to the UK from India.
