Throughout the end of the year, GHNewsroom.com is showcasing some of our 2011 favorites, which include great examples of video work, photography, reader involvement and more.  Here are some of our favorite videos of 2011, and what we like about them:

Video adds emotion to a story:

Utica Observer-Dispatch: 9/11 anniversary

Breaking news is a great video category, and brings a sense of immediacy to your coverage:

Somerville Journal: Fire on Clarendon Ave.

Wellsville Daily Reporter: Troopers shot at, suspects captured

Video adds motion to your story that text and photos alone cannot:

Old Colony Memorial: Juvenile whale in Plymouth harbor

Peoria Journal Star: When turkeys attack

Planning ahead and incorporating video into your normal workflow eases the burden:

State Journal-Register: Tour of the new YMCA

Kingston Reporter: Town administrator interviews

Littleton Independent: Suicide prevention walk
