video on GM strike

Andrell Bower
I looked at a Post-Dispatch story on a strike at the GM plant in Wentzville, published Sept. 24 at http://www.stltoday.com/multimedia. I thought the story was poorly done. The video was a montage of a small group of workers picketing outside the plant. Whoever was shooting the video had access to the workers, but the story did not include a single soundbite. A further problem was the reporter who spoke throughout the entire video was awkward and seemed to stumble over his words.
The content suffered as well. Anyone viewing the story could have deduced most of what the reporter said just by reading the caption and looking at the video. His last words in the story were, "there's not a lot of information out there."
I'm not sure of the benefit of offering this story as a multimedia piece. I didn't find a text version anywhere on the site. If this story had been in print, the reporter would not have gotten away with pathetic information, no quotes and bad writing.
