At Daniel's request, I thought I'd move some discussion here and off of Twitter. This year at the YDN, multimedia is a big focus area for us, and thus we have been evaluating the best way to present multimedia content on our website. The first step was designing a new landing page to help people discover the great multimedia content our staffers are creating. Here's the new version:

Compared with the old one:

In addition to revamping the landing page itself, we've also finally made available archive pages for each type of media (see All Xyz links at bottom of the "more" lists).

We've integrated multimedia into our site search engine, including our new filtering capabilities. We also offer searching within a media type from the type's archive listing page. Additionally, media appear intertwined with articles on staffer profile pages where applicable.

We will likely continue to improve our page over the next several months, so I'd be appreciative of any feedback for us.  Or, for the community in general, please share examples of inspiring or well-executed multimedia landing pages at other (college) news sites.
