TIME is unique in that it has special, specific sections for their video journalism and photojournalism pieces. While most of their main stories do not have multimedia components, many feature stories that TIME covers are video or photo based. The video section is particularly efficient because it is easy to navigate and has a wide variety of stories. 

I spent a lot of time in TIME's video section because the website offered me recommendations of other similar videos based on the video I clicked on, which was a cool feature. I think it is important for websites to try to hold a viewer's interest for as long as possible, and I think the video section is successful at holding attention for a prolonged amount of time.
