I think that The Falling Times does a really good job of creating a visual represenation of the news. However, you have to actually click on the images and read the articles to get the full story. You can't actually "read" the news by just looking at the pictures. I think it's really interesting though because the images, at least for me, intrigue me and get me to actually read the stories/news which I usually tend to ignore.
I don't think you can really convey "news" by using only visual iconography, at least not fully. It's more of an artistic expression. The artists feel that content should be reduced to images and headlines to represent a "universal language." This doesn't really give you the whole story though - just one person's version of it.
I think it is scholarly multimedia though because it is taking one medium and presenting it in a different way, showing a whole new aspect of it.
