- Telegraph.co.uk: The Telegraph’s website has launched Telegraph TV News Now, an interesting extension of its relationship with ITN that intercuts the TV news producer’s video round-ups with pieces-to-camera from the newspaper’s own reporting staff. News Now includes nine ITN news and clips in a branded Brightcove player, with today’s featuring analysis from the consumer affairs and home affairs editors. There’s also ITN archive news video (see the examples after the jump in this post). Telegraph.co.uk editor Marcus Warren called it a “soft launch”. Updated throughout the day, this latest in the Telegraph product line really gives an insight in to how the paper wants to use that fancy new integrated newsroom in Victoria, London. Updated: Meanwhile, Patience Wheatcroft’s resignation as Sunday Telegraph editor was motivated by the paper’s multimedia changes, an anonymous source tells The Guardian: It is understood the reason given for Ms Wheatcroft’s departure at the meeting was ‘strategic’ differences. ‘That was taken to mean failure to embrace the internet,’ the insider said.”

- ITV.com: The dominant commercial TV operator will this month launch its first advertising campaign for its relaunched ITV.com web portal. Running across TV, newspapers, radio and outdoor hoardings, the campaign will centre on the “total freedom of entertainment” afforded by the on-demand, catch-up viewing features of the recently-relaunched website. ITV.com had a delayed, rolling redesign in June that also allows includes live streaming of ITV’s four main TV channels.
