    The photo and online crews at the Spartan Daily have been quietly grinding away at getting more multimedia content running at www.thespartandaily.com this semester, and it’s paying off.

    The first thing I thought when I heard a tornado hit the Iowa City and the University of Iowa last night was “I bet the Daily Iowan has video up.” Sure enough, the student newspaper has a package of stories, plus some fantastic tornado-at-night video, including shots of students watching and describing the scene. The…
