Coming soon: video letters
If you’re a letter writer who’d prefer to be seen as well as heard, your time has come.
In early 2009, the News & Record will begin to accept video letters.
What’s a video letter? It’s a letter you read before a camera and submit for posting on our Web site.
Occasionally, the newspaper also will make occasional days and times available in which you can record your letter in the News & Record’s studio. You also may record video commentaries on your own and e-mail them to us at edpage@news-record.com.
As long as your video letter meets our taste and length guidelines, almost anything goes.
Watch the newspaper for more details in the coming weeks.

There is nothing worse than Youtube editorials. Why attempt to emulate lameness?

Check out the "Thinking Out Loud" blog for examples from the Orlando Sentinel of "video letters."
One fellow was long-winded; another fellow was filmed outside and his words were all but drowned out by the sound of wind.
Will there be captioning on the video letters so that we can "follow along"?
Now I'll be thinking all day of Mitch Miller's Sing Along tv show!
