Not just a print newspaper

The Standard’s multimedia projects

GRETA CROSS Editor-in-Chief @gretacrossphoto

The Standard has been a print publication since its establishment as The Southwest Standard in 1912. With the advancement of technology and increased use of the internet, The Standard has implemented several multimedia projects over the years to engage a digital audience.

Video packages

Video has evolved through many phases at The Standard throughout the last decade.

The Standard Statement, a weekly broadcast-style video highlighting top stories, was started in January 2018 in the break and supply room of Clay Hall, The Standard’s office. Last year, the news editor at the time Carissa Alford began recording The Standard Statement in Strong Hall’s broadcast studio, often featuring guests and news package created by staff reporters.

This year, instead of featuring a singular, weekly broadcast, The Standard will produce individual video packages, created by staff re porters from the news, lifestyle and sport sections each week, along with a weekly weather forecast update and other lighthearted content.

Standard Sports Weekly

Standard Sports Weekly, similar to The Standard Statement, is a weekly broadcast-style video highlighting Missouri State sports. Standard Sports Weekly can also be viewed on The Standard’s website or YouTube channel.

Standard Sports Weekly began as Standard Sports Update in March 2014 and has evolved over the last six years. Last year, senior sports reporter Claire Niebrugge hosted the show, introducing Bears Scoreboard, a segment dedicated to running through the previous week’s Missouri State sports scores.

This year, Standard Sports Weekly will continue to be hosted by a staff sports reporter.
