Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting on a computer output device a news story, wherein said news story includes a primary body of text, wherein an automatic tracking multimedia control is implemented to track a reviewing by a user of text within said news story to synchronize said reviewing with a presentation of related media content, including visual imagery configured primarily to illustrate the text in said news story, wherein said automatic tracking multimedia control tracks eye scrolling movements of said user to direct changes of said visual imagery, and wherein said automatic tracking multimedia control commences displaying each successive presentation of said visual imagery automatically no later than effectively simultaneous to the reviewing of each associated text segment by said user, said computer-implemented method comprising: displaying on said computer output device a current presentation of said news story that is retrieved from a non-transitory computer-useable storage medium, wherein said current presentation includes at least part of said primary body of text and an associated visual image; detecting through a computer processor a choosing of a select segment of text within said primary body of text by said automatic tracking multimedia control; performing through said computer processor an operation, said operation responsive to said detecting of the choosing of said select segment of text by said automatic tracking multimedia control, said operation causing a next presentation to be retrieved from said non-transitory computer-useable storage medium, wherein said next presentation includes displaying at least one changed component of related media content, wherein at least one of the changed components includes a continued, modified presentation of said associated visual image on said computer output device; displaying on said computer output device said next presentation that includes the at least one changed component of related media content, wherein at least one of the changed components includes said continued, modified presentation of said associated visual image relating to said select segment of text, wherein said continued, modified presentation of said associated visual image includes at least one of a zooming-in on at least one depicted subject, a zooming-out on at least one depicted subject, a panning across at least one depicted subject, and a change in camera perspective of at least one depicted subject; detecting through said computer processor a choosing of a next select segment of text within said primary body of text by said automatic tracking multimedia control; performing through said computer processor a new operation, said new operation responsive to said detecting of the choosing of said next select segment of text by said automatic tracking multimedia control, said new operation causing a new next presentation to be retrieved from said non-transitory computer-useable storage medium, wherein said new next presentation includes displaying at least one newly changed component of related media content; displaying on said computer output device said new next presentation that includes the at least one newly changed component of related media content, wherein said newly changed component relates to said next select segment of text.
