I found a story about a Ted Cruz speech on NYT website that I felt would have been stronger if it would have had a video element. Not sure if it had something to do with getting rights to the video of the speech or anything like that, but hearing the words the way the man said them would have aided the cause of this article.
An article with video that I found not only included a video in addition to the article, but was the subject of the article itself. A young teacher was scolding first grade students extremely harshly which of course caused mass controversy at the time. What I like so much about the video is how authentic it is, how well it captures the situation. Without this video, there would have been no story, and as this specific news piece was of the follow up variety, it obviously required the video.
The teacher targeted one student who wasn’t able to answer how she responded to a question, and sent her to the corner.
