I am proud to say that my hometown paper, the Chicago Tribune, is doing quite a good job incorporating video into their news coverage. Their site is well structured and has a separate section just for videos which are organized by category (features, weather, sports, travel, etc.). This structure is extremely conducive to the Tribune readers who choose to get their news interactively. Additionally, this archiving system serves as a useful research tool.
One thing ChicagoTribune.com could improve on is reader engagement. There does not appear to be room for comments, which seems like it would be an easy fix. Additionally, I think that Trib readers would appreciate the opportunity upload their own video content and share in the news distribution experience.
