It's a long article but it basically talks about how newspapers are incorporating HDV into their websites. I think its great for us because it gives us another venue to practice our craft.
I like what David Leeson from the Dallas Morning News says about stills from HDV:
“Most folks who make the argument [against using HDV video for still work] know very little about video,” Leeson says. “I usually smile and ask them to make the same argument to old timers who used a one-shot Speed Graphic. It's actually amusing to me to hear photographers whine about frame rates while holding a still camera that shoots at 8fps. Surely they must also know that, traditionally, increases in the popularity of still motor drive speeds has not been met with an equal growth in photographers able to capture ‘the moment.’ The bottom line is you either get the moment or you don't. If you can't find it with an 8fps still motor drive, I'm confused as to why people think a shooter would be able to find it at 30fps with video.”
