Atlanta Police Union’s Scott Kreher talks furloughs, endorsements
May 7, 2009 at 10:09 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsGrayson Daughters spoke with Atlanta Police Union President Scott Kreher at the most recent Atlantans Together Against Crime rally in Midtown. Topics included how the organization will endorse a candidate in the Atlanta mayor’s race, what role the community plays in fighting crime, and what’s needed to end police furloughs.
In March, the Atlanta City Council unanimously passed a resolution urging Mayor Shirley Franklin to introduce a budget that ended police and firefighter furloughs. Last week, the mayor granted its request. Council is expected to vote on the budget in June.

This is a great example here, Young Wheat-E-Fresh, of how video and text/links mash nicely together to support one another in the digital space.
You filled in the gap in the video (background on Atlanta City Council’s furlough-related resolution) with no muss, no fuss; just a few key sentences, but text with the right link embeds… should the audience decide FOR THEMSELVES, and their unique local news wants and needs, that THEY need more.
Had I put such background in the video, it would have created too much video muss and fuss.
Hope digital advertisers take note as that’s a critical part of the digi-news pie too.
