Would it be so hard?

More and more news stories are delivered as video clips - this is fine, especially for something especially suited to footage. But if it seems that too often, news stories are being offered as video clips only. Would it be so hard to have a text version?

I like to scan/skim through a news story and glean the parts I want - trying to do that with a video is a lot more frustrating.

  1. News stories in video form almost go against the grain of information on the Internet. For most stories, I'd rather have the text and maybe a picture or two illustrating the story than have to watch a video.
