My hometown newspaper, The Observer-Dispatch, recently broke a huge story about a local man possibly being released from prison after 20 years due to new information discovered from new methods of DNA testing.
They've followed the story very meticulously and have done a great job of giving the readers all sorts of coverage through different forms of media from written stories, to photos to video. You can check out some of the coverage here as they've dedicated a special reports page to the constantly developing story. It displays some great breaking news coverage. I wouldn't be surprised if the paper's staff received a few awards for their work on this particular story.
Here's one video from the coverage that shows just how great online multimedia content can be. While it is rather simple, it allows viewers to see the emotion of Steven Barnes firsthand as he is being granted his release by the judge. It also shows Barnes' mother and sister embracing following the judges ruling. This gives users a part of the story that even the most skillful and poetic writing cannot always capture.
