Denver Post Video

The Denver Post videos are not accessible with a straight link, only via their video gallery.
The most recent covers the USA Amateur Boxing competition, specifically amateur prodigy Louie Bird. The video falls hopelessly short. Although it accomplishes its mission of telling a story, it is dull and difficult to watch due to a lack of any journalistic presence...no narrative, no voiceovers, no sign ons or offs. Call it conceited, but I believe having that is necessary to make the story interesting and valid. I'll concede that we run the risk of affecting the events and the overrall tone of anything we touch, but people need that.  A video without a journalist is just a glorified YouTube clip. I want legitimacy.
