"Snow Fall - The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek" is the canonical NYT example. http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/#/?part=tunnel-creek It was talked about a LOT. https://www.google.com/search?q=snow+fall+nyt a "six-month sixteen-person multimedia project", "immersive story", "spectacle".
I'm not sure if there's a particular name for the UI style(?), but someone replicated the dynamic-scrolling aspects in an hour, and then NYT's lawyers descended: https://medium.com/meta/503b9c22080b
Pitchfork does indeed use it a lot. http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/reader/bat-for-lashes/
See also http://www.firstmenonthemoon.com/ (glanceable) and https://www.google.com/search?q=bear+71 (long form net-art, needs at least 5 mins to appreciate.)

There's probably a name for this style, which feels like a meme sweeping across the web design world.
I'm not a big fan of it... It's kinda pretty, but I don't quite understand what is it particularly good for.

Wanted to share this, since it made me wow out loud: http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2013/10/13/russia/ I'm not referring to the substance of the piece but to its presentation, which is an impressive composite of a lot of very recent browser capabilities. _______________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:Design@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design
