Its very effective and easy to get around. Its more engaging than the second one. I think the set up makes it that way. I like the way the Maryland video player is set up.

I agree with sara, I don't think it's necessary to show images of it.

The map is already there and you can consume it at your own pace rather than having to step away from the text or scroll back.

USA Today's version looked like any regular news story, so it wasn't as obvious that there is a lot of content. However, I don't like the one empty block in the third row of faces on Maryland's version. It feels like there should be another face there. Also, I think that when the viewer scrolls over each story title in the nav, the corresponding photo should expand and light up, just as it does when you scroll over the photos and the corresponding title is highlighted.

I prefer Maryland's one because since this is a story about mixed race, I like that we could see all the faces of the people being profiled.

Overall presentation was also more professional.

USA Today had annoying ads in front of each clip.

So, honestly I would prefer the USA Today layout with more of Maryland's detail.
