It's been days since we criticized the local media, so let's make sure they know we're still paying attention. :-) The Chapel Hill News has added a weekly video clip to it's web site. The current show features Leah Friedman reading the paper's recent headlines and Meiling Arounnarath talking about the Carrboro mural with Jenny Chan.
I like how the video personalizes the reporters and some of the people in their stories. My only suggestion is to create a feed so that people can subscribe to video updates without visiting the site to see whether they've updated.

The audio was good and the video was good & bad (they just need some experience/practice in various lighting situations, like backlighting).
Seconding what Will said, RSS for all of the various sections is the biggest thing missing from CHN right now. And the N&O needs a separate Orange County RSS feed. On a similar note, the DTH needs RSS feeds for each section.
