Nowadays audiences want to participate in stories rather than just read or watch them in the digital realm. With the advent of interactive storytelling journalism has become dynamic participatory experience where readers can explore, respond and occasionally even influence the plot. Interactive tales create dynamic, visually striking and intensely personal storytelling by fusing technology, creativity and journalism. What is interactive story? An interactive story is a type of journalism in which people actively participate in the information rather than passively consuming it. according to multimedia expert Andrew DeVigal, former multimedia editor at New York times, interactive story is defined not only using films, maps or graphics but also by how it generates and experience.

                                                                           The Maldives is facing crossroads in media freedom.   The people’s majilis is now considering the media and broadcasting regulation bill, which is being presented as an essential step toward modernizing media oversight. Though it could end up being one of the most damaging blows to press freedom in our fledging democracy.

As the last Assignment for our Advanced Certificate in Journalism course's Digital Journalism module, this video project was made. It was intended to put our abilities in video production and editing to the test while also providing us with the opportunity to work together as a team to realize a compelling narrative. Abdul Muhaimin, 81, and affectionately referred to as "Male Naibugey Muhaimin" are the subject of our report. Muhaimin is a true artist and craftsman who loves traditional art and handcrafted items. The "Ufehdhuntherikamuge Maurazu 2025" recently honored his extraordinary talent and dedication, and his work made a lasting impression. In this video, we dive into his inspiring story, explore the heart behind his craft, and highlight the beauty of preserving Maldivian heritage through art.

This project was created as my final Audio assignment for the Advanced Certificate in Journalism course's digital journalism module. This was put together by me (Maryam Mohamed) and my group members: Ahmed Shafiu, Fathimath Liusha, and Akram Abdulla. The primary goal of this project was to see if we could use the techniques we had learned in class to create a cohesive, high-quality audio story.  Based on the well-known local folklore Foolhudhigu Handi,  "Aami and Faathey’s Adventures" is a lighthearted and action-packed short play set in the Maldives. This version isn’t just about the monster, it’s about friendship, quick wit, and facing fear with a touch of sarcasm and a lot of style.
