By: Pauline Millard I write a lot about video in this column, but that's only because it's growing on a lot of newspaper Web sites. I think it's also a great way to tell a story that has a lot of color to it.
The SeattleTimes.com recently started making videos. For a fairly large newspaper they don't have a lot of resources, just a pair of cameras and some editing software on laptops. Nevertheless, they've done some great pieces.
For a cute overload I highly recommend the segment about the
bengal tigers at the zoo. They have also highlighted Seattle's maritime history by covering a local
wooden boat festival.
As is the case at many newspaper sites, the videos are hard to find on the homepage. The Times has theirs buried way down at the bottom of the site, which is a shame because they're quite good.
