The Enron trial has made the headlines during the past couple of days with the former CFO testifying, followed by the chief whistle-blower in the case.
It's been easy to follow the trial. The scandal and the coverage are fodder for a number of online media sites.
Take MSNBC for example. If you follow the bread crumbs from MSNBC.com, you can find anything you want to know about the energy giant and its legal troubles, including who the key players are, what the crimes are, key witnesses, the prosecution team, the defense team. You name it.
MSNBC's coverage is a great example of why convergence journalism works so well. Using various multi-media elements, a first-time visitor to the site can pick and choose how much information they want to learn about Enron. They can become an Enron expert or just get the gist of the story.
The story reaches so much farther than running a story in a daily newspaper.
