2. ABC Nightline News Videos
http://www.abcnews.go.com/onair/nightline/NightlineIndex.html
Note that current week offers on its web site both videos and
transcripts. Archived Nightline programs (four weeks) offer only scripts on
the web site. However, the videos are available to order, but there is a
delay of 3-4 weeks and a cost of about $35. Students should be able to view
any of the current web videos in The Park Library. The quality of image and
sound is good if the latest version of RealPlayer in loaded on the
computers.
3. MSNBC launched a Video News Portal
http://www.msnbc.com/news/default.asp
Note: To play the current videos, it is required that computers be loaded
with the Windows Media Player 6.4 or greater. I don't have that version on

it.
The Video News Page is devoted to news reports and features on the site that
include streaming video. The news portal allows users to access video clips
on demand, including those clips made available by MSNBC Cable, NBC Nightly
News with Tom Brokaw, The Today Show and Dateline NBC. Users can download
clips from the portal on deman for 24 hours with select reports being

Note: RealPlayer works fine, but it takes some time to scan the
text/photo loaded screen to find the videos you need to play. Still the
quality is good.
5. CBS News
http://cbsnews.cbs.com/
Note: CBS recommends Windows Media Player for its videos which I don't have
on my desktop. However it will work, but not particularly well, with
RealPlayer. The sound and images is jerky and blurry using RealPlayer. This
site is also loaded with images and text making it not too easy to navigate.
Still, the Evening News site offers a variety of short interviews on most
recent program which, while not the smoothest, are considerably larger.
Also, there are scripts and bio briefs of the CBS news broadcasters.
