As you can see, the "storyline" provides extensive information about this clip and is
free at the AP Archive website. Users would be hard-pressed to find more or better
news video and text than in the AP Video Archive.

CNN offers only seven days of free access to its vast video archive of news and
features. After a week, users must sign up for CNN Pipeline, which requires both
payment and downloading and installing a CNN video player. Here is what CNN
Pipeline offers:
"CNN Pipeline empowers you to watch up to four live news feeds at once, changing
feeds at any time with a single click. Our free video player only allows you to view
one video at a time. Additionally, while our free video contains commercial
advertisements, Pipeline offers commercial free access to video content on-demand,
including free video, with multiple features for ease in searching and browsing. Our
extensive archive, not available through the Free Video Player, gives you unlimited
access to search and browse CNN.com's online video library."

If you must have a video of a news broadcast and you are willing to register and pay
for it, the Vanderbilt Television News Archive is the place to go. "The Television
News Archive collection at Vanderbilt University is the world's most extensive and
complete archive of television news. The collection holds more than 30,000
individual network evening news broadcasts from the major U.S. national broadcast
networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN, and more than 9,000 hours of special newsrelated
programming including ABC's Nightline since 1989...The archive makes two
kinds of video tape loans to clients: duplications and compilations. We charge fees
for loans to offset the costs in providing this service."

Conclusion

There seems to be no end to the number of sites that provide some sort of online
video access, whether it is news or homemade videos, for-fee sites or free ones,
archives or live feeds. Every time I look, I find more sites, but I had to decide where
to draw the line and when to stop compiling sites. If you believe I missed a critically
important source, please let me know (and tell me what features make it special).
