We’ve often assumed that people watching video on mobile devices will only want 2-4 minute clips. But global trials have found an appetite for 20-30 minute viewing of sitcoms, dramas and news. Does your newsroom have a mobile strategy?

Kids in hospitals find watching television can ease their pain more than having a parent with them. A study in the British journal Archives of Disease in Childhood found that kids stuck with a needle while watching cartoons reported they felt half as much pain as those who got the needle while just sitting with Mom. So there may have been something to it when Mom let you watch TV when you were stuck at home sick.

Add Poynter’s Bob Steele to the “look before leaping” crowd in the JonBenet Ramsey arrest story. Bob rightly points us to the sad case of Richard Jewell, the man who was the definition of “convicted in the media” for the 1996 Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta. (Jewell’s lawyer, L. Lin Wood, is the same lawyer who represents the Ramseys.)

CNN.com has put together a nifty Flash section with expanded video clips, interactives, slide shows and resources surrounding the upcoming CNN investigation, “In the Footsteps of Bin Laden,” reported by Christiane Amanpour. My only beef is that it appears to be more of a promotional vehicle for TV than standalone online content, but it’s well done.
