We really have to hand it to Don Porter and the rest of the crew at the Standard-Examiner. With the newspaper's recent foray into online multimedia, these guys and gals are proving themselves to be imaginative, resourceful and downright entertaining. In an era when most of the print media remain, shall we say, stodgy, and seemingly unable (or unwilling) to adapt to the realities of a web-based media marketplace, the folks at the Std-Ex have demonstrated an encouraging propensity to experiment and innovate, and in the process have managed to produce some online material which is quite worthy of note.
For example, in April, we highlighted a hard-hitting Don Porter video editorial, for which we offered our rave review. More recently Mr. Porter gave us a heads-up on a series of online Boss Godfrey audio interview snippets, which served as the foundation for another WCF article and provocative reader discussion.
This morning we'll highlight still another notable Std-Ex online offering, a highly-humorous music video parody on a topic that's near and dear to our Weber County Forum hearts, featuring, as an added bonus, the multi-talented Don Porter on vocals.
Before we provide the link however, this morning's Don Porter commentary provides the setup.
And without further ado... the video: Stand by Your Tram:
