I chose the Burlington Free Press as my source for video from a newspaper. After living in Burlington for the summer, the BFP has become one of my more popular options.
My first instinct was to go to the sports tab. The first video that grabbed my attention is titled "CVU takes place among best in history."
My first reaction to the story was the lack of quality in the tracking. It sounds like whoever is reading it is tracking the story because they have to, rather than because they want to. There is a nice nat-sound bit :20 or so seconds in though which is nice.
The video is the same length in a package we would do in News7, but I think we run packages of higher quality than this. The SOT was very long, and not split up at all. He didn't introduce their SOT, and instead we heard the reporter asking the question. While it's nice to draw the emotion that this reporter did, he could have split that interview into multiple SOTs for a much stronger story. Because of this, I would say this story looks more amateur-ish, than professional.
