Chris, although it looks like you have your response from the people on this board and have already decided what you want to do with it I will say this. Use the video of the press conference and concentrate on writing articles. I know how much of a pain it is to transcribe video to written form.
One nice thing about having the internet is that you can do both since it is a multimedia platform. Not too mention this website could use more videos. Post the video and then spend more time writing feature article because your audience (Cyclone Fanatics) is going to be much more interested in feature articles than reading/listening to Rhoads' conference.
Another thing you could do is if you could get someone else to vlog as you have 3 other writers writing, or print, content for the website to kind of balancing it out. I apologize if you already know this or have heard before, but I just want to give you some more feedback.
