Video killed the radio, but could it save newspapers?

I read this today in Inc. Magazine:

The Pew Internet & American Life Project reported last year that 19 percent of Internet users watch videos online every day, and most of them share video with others.

Ads featuring videos get much higher click-through rates than ads with text or graphics, according to DoubleClick, the online ad company.

Makes me think newspapers should start inviting talented videographers to submit news video to their websites. I don’t know how it would work. Just try something, for pete’s sake.
