Good package. A little over the top. And yes the reporter actually says “holy crap.” But the kid has game.

One of the innovations OPUBCO has embraced is putting video cameras in the hands of reporters.

Scary.

The idea is OPUBCO can develop a Verizon-network-map system of coverage by having video cameras wherever our reporters are. So instead of just a handful of videographers running around to various assignments, we have 30, 40 or 50 cameras within various neighborhoods, communities and events around the state.

And at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Berry Tramel and Darnell Mayberry traveled with the Oklahoma City Thunder to Los Angeles for Games 1 and 2 of the opening round NBA playoffs series. Berry shot the above video of Pau Gasol and Jeff Green. Gasol from his presser. Green in the locker room.

It’s a great example of “bringing back a visual pull-quote” to go within an article on NewsOK. Contextual content to give the reader a better multimedia experience.

Lakers Roundtable: Mark Medina and The Oklahoman’s Darnell Mayberry preview the Lakers-Thunder series

I follow the LA Times’ Mark Medina as one of their Lakers bloggers. His blogs are often more in depth and more informative than his newspaper’s reporters. And I’m not sure if it’s because the LA Times merely repurposes the print story to the online version and Medina’s blogs are whatever length they need to be. But it’s a better read for me to see the longer version, and it often contains more info.

As I’ve said before, I’m a big Lakers fan. Medina and The Oklahoman’s Darnell Mayberry hook up in the above vid to discuss the first round clash between the defending champs and the hometown heroes.
