World News Digest will be relaunching for back-to-school, and one of the many highlights will be the addition of a brand-new video feature! For the first time, users will have easy access to extensive historical video footage—from the 1940s through the 2010s—never before contained in the database, bringing decades of key historic events to life.
Users will find hundreds of historical videos in one convenient location, filterable by decade. Each title is hyperlinked to the actual video, many with searchable transcripts. Four Featured Videos are called out at the top of the landing page for inspiration on timely topics.
