It's a changing journalistic world. Used to be, not even that long ago, when we pasted up newspapers by hand. You had to be careful not to get a line of copy stuck to your sleeve as you checked over the page.

Now, our stories are transmitted directly from our brain waves onto the press. Well, not quite, but there have been many changes. Biggest among them is the onset of Web sites. Some of you don't even read the newspaper on print over your breakfast cereal anymore - you read it instead on your laptop over latte at the coffee shop. I happen to think that's wrong - that there's nothing like poring over the print edition, neatly categorized and laid out for you by a thoughtful copy editor. But hey, that's just me showing my gray hair.

Once you're doing business on a Web page, though, that means you're no longer confined to traditional forms of delivery. You can, for the first time, do things with sound and video. So you will see on the Free Press Web site video of basketball games, hockey games, snow removal - and - most recently an interview with Rep. Peter Welch. Click here to see it.

It's a seven-part video, mostly involving questions from the public. Welch told me this week that the questions were not the kind he typically gets. Cool. That means he can't give the answers he usually gives. Well, not necessarily.
