The Hidden World at GEO.fr won the 2008 Online Journalism Award for best multimedia feature on a small Web site.
The Web site presents digital maps and interactive graphics as the focal point of the page to attract users. The sleek black, white and green design makes the page look somewhat mysterious, which suits the purpose of the Web site: to investigate and report "hidden" stories around the world.
Each story is accompanied by online video clips, photos and colorful maps. The Web site seems to be designed to appeal directly to people who prefer to get information from visually-appealing graphics instead of the traditional article.
Overall, the site is very innovative and takes full advantage of the user interactivity that online journalism allows. Thanks to its various multimedia features, "The Hidden World" has gained recognition for being able to collect, connect and present its content in a creative way.
