Hypothesis:

For readers looking to catch up on the news, visitors will likely navigate to the homepage. A hub for content discovery, by targeting individual’s with a penchant for watching videos there, brands can more quickly draw these individuals towards particular pieces of content, increasing the likelihood and speed of which they engage with and consume content. A “Top Videos” widget or dedicated video section can double down on this strategy, luring video enthusiasts towards their preferred content format.
