Huntington, WV (HNN) – Click on mms://media.huntingtonnews.net:7800/video/2005/Tyson_Demo.asf and see a sample of what's in store for Huntington News Network readers this year: Video news clips. This is a test of our new product, which we plan to offer on a regular basis on all three HNN sites.
 
Our only resolution for 2006 is to keep bringing you the best of everything in news, commentary, culture and entertainment for the Tri-State, the Hinton-Beckley-Greenbrier Valley area and the Two Virginias at www.huntingtonnews.net, www.hintonnews.net and www.bluefieldnews.net, respectively.
 
You may have noticed – I certainly hope you have – the addition of Scripps Howard News Service and affiliated sites to HNN. Along with the help of HNN Editor David M. Kinchen, a veteran of 40 years in journalism, I chose Scripps Howard because of the superb quality and range of news and opinion offered by this outstanding news service. Last summer, I asked Kinchen to choose a news and opinion service. We narrowed our search to two or three and we decided on SHNS based on Kinchen's experience on two major metropolitan dailies --The Milwaukee Sentinel and the Los Angeles Times -- as well as three other daily newspapers in Indiana and West Virginia.
 
For nearly a century, Scripps Howard News Service has covered Washington and the world, giving readers national and international news, sports, business, entertainment, health, money, science, crime, technology and religion.
 
Scripps Howard News Service provides breaking news, analysis and behind-the-scenes reporting from its national staff. It also offers international, national and regional news from the Scripps Howard chain of newspapers and contributing writers from other major newspapers, including the San Francisco Chronicle, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Raleigh News and Observer, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, The Sacramento Bee, and the St. Petersburg (FL) Times.
 
We believe the addition of video news and entertainment clips and Scripps Howard News Service to our already excellent lineup of writers and columnists will continue to make Huntington News Network, Hinton News Network and Bluefield News Network state-of-the-art, cutting-edge news sites for West Virginia. Watch for constant improvements to HNN: That's our promise to you, our faithful readers. Thank you and have a healthy and prosperous New Year!
