Often you see newspapers splitting their media to one section or an entirely different Web site. I say you have to be able to keep that together. You basically mentioned that with being able to load up slideshows, but I think it's really important ot keep it together. The Kentucky Kernel will be launching a new Web site in the Fall so that we can drop our media site and have all of our content in one place. But it is amazing how many great newspapers actually have a visual site. The Mercury News and the Lexington Herald-Leader are among those. This is by far one of my favorite posts of yours. Keep this stuff coming. My biggest suggestion is to keep all of your content together. Often you see newspapers splitting their media to one section or an entirely different Web site.
