As one of the major news publications in the nation, it is no surprise that the Chicago Tribune's website contains a significant amount of multimedia such as pictures and videos which helps readers go through news stories better. The Tribune has numerous photos and galleries concerning all areas of news, including politics, entertainment, and sports. The newspaper's photojournalists each have blogs in which they display their work. Most articles are accompanied by at least one picture which captures the general idea of the story. The digital membership of the newspaper offers even more multimedia from the newspaper's writers and photographers.
The Tribune also has a significant amount of videos, but while browsing through the number of the website's articles, video are not as prominent as photos. Many articles contain no photos, much less videos. However, just as with photos, videos have a special page on the website and there are videos for many areas of news, such as sports and local news. Some videos are short and others have a long duration, but they also help in visualizing and understanding a story in a more effective way. Commun
