While I like images, still and video, I primarily go for printed news sources, whether on paper or electrons.

Unlike many of today's generation (yourself excluded) I find reading to be a pleasure rather than a chore.

The images enhance that, but do not replace it. You would still need to have a fair bit of narrative content ... after all, images without context are often pretty, but the meaning is unclear. Unless, of course, the intent is to allow the images to speak for themselves.

(The images standing alone has kind of a Fahrenheit 451 feel to it though ... banishment of the printed word makes people more easily manipulable.)
