What is the general quality of video images here? Are some videos unwatchable or are some almost High Definition? We let you know what to expect….
The world in 2011
Excellent, clear images with great color and sound.

How easy is it to navigate around the site? We tried and tested it out and graded..

There are a few categories to sort by although these are fairly general.  The category for ‘United States’ for example, brought up over 200 pages with no sub-categories available for filtering. Audio and video clips are also listed together.

The categories filter gives you no visual reminder of where you are on the site – there was no navigation trail for you retrace your steps or just to confirm your position on the site.

Overall the navigation was too basic and you are probably better off using the search box instead.

What video sharing options does this site offer? Can I share videos, embed videos, download or make comments here?.

You can embed, download or subscribe by RSS to live news clips on the site. There is no rating or commenting, which is a shame, as the main magazine site has a well used commentary box which really adds vibrancy to the site.

There is however a nice email form with a pre-set message to share emails with others.

Is this site invaded by commercials? We watched a range of videos and evaluated how many annoying adverts popped up before we could view what we wanted… .
There are adverts on the main site as well as preceding and following on from TV news clips.
Innovation: 3/10

Why is it different to other video sharing sites? We graded on originality and innovation..

This is the video vault of the main Economist site.  Somehow it lacks the spark of their main site and feels like a bit of an afterthought.

This is a shame because there are some interesting video and audio clips which could be better promoted and easier to locate.
Social Options: 5/10

How interactive is this site? Is there a Facebook Group? Twitter? RSS feeds? Linked In? We found out..

News and current affairs always get people talking – everyone has a view and many are keen to express them.

Although the main magazine site has plenty of outlets for discussion there are no similar features on the video section of the site, which is a real shame.
News Content: 2/10

Quality of the news content. Here we look at the quality of the news reports and videos we can watch here..
The content on this site is interesting, varied and thought provoking.  Audio and video clips are well structured and informative.
News Scope: 3/10
  • 1

Range of news covered. Here we evaluated the range of news stories, categories and videos included. Extra points were given to videos with a wide ranging and international scope..
The scope of topics is broad although the video site doesn’t jive well with the main magazine – it would be nice to have videos on current topics in the magazine highlighted as feature articles as opposed to treating the video site as a separate entity.
