Sunday readers of the Star Tribune have already seen the story of Eileen and Scott Nelson, among the “print exclusives” that have popped up of late. Now you can read it online. I can assure you it’s just as fresh as it was on Sunday. More importantly, check out the video my colleague Brett Akagi produced. Watching his interview with the Nelsons brings home for me, a word guy, the power of video to convey personality and relationships.

Also in the “print exclusive” category, today marks the online debut of the first installment of “The Informant,” the powerful four-part narrative of a corruption probe of the Minneapolis police. Reported and written by my colleagues Tony Kennedy and Paul McEnroe, it’s an example of the larger scale, time-intensive newspaper investigations that are an essential part of our watchdog role.
