> Even feature stories just don't have much pizzaz - who really wants to read an interview - I want to watch an interview. I think you need to check your personal biases there. I want to read an interview, rather than watch it. Reading is typically faster, allows for skimming, can can be done anywhere with little fuss (e.g. no headphones). That's why I tend to hate video content that could be presented textually. Video should only be be for things that are necessarily visual. I'd really only want to listen to an interview if it's someone I'm so interested in that I want to take it slow and make time for it. And that's not just for news. I work in a company where "documentation" is typically a pile of years-old, 1-2 hour long meeting recordings, if you're lucky. All that content would be soooo much better as text. > Why would I pay to read about a carjacking in a far off neighborhood? Because I might go to that neighborhood sometime? The whole point of a regional newspaper is to give a view of a local area not a hyperlocal area.
