I just watched the third edition of Ledger Live hosted at
www.nj.com/ledgerlive that features news from the Newark Star-Ledger in a video medium. The show hosted by Brian Donohue covers some of the day's print stories with a little more depth. For example, today's episode covers the conviction of Newark mayor Sharpe James and features a video interview with blogger Ken Walker from The Daily Newarker. The webcast in total is about 7 minutes long - a great length to get a digest version of some of the top stories or hear more about interesting articles you've read in the print version.
It seems like only yesterday we were talking about how the future of newspapers would include video and other rich media that could cross platforms with ease and reach news consumers via multiple channels. While researching this topic I've found a few newspapers across the country doing this type of project but am excited to see it in my home state!
You can watch the video of Episode 3 below. The first two episodes are archived at the NJ.com site.
