In comparing the multimedia sections of the Pioneer Press and Star Tribune just from the initial pull-down list the Star Tribune seems to have more options to play with.
The Pioneer Press only has four options for multimedia and two of them are titled as "coming soon". They have photo galleries and video that visitors to the site can browse.
The Star Tribune on the other hand is more interactive with the community because they have the option for readers to post their own photos and video. They also have podcasts, news graphics that include charts and surveys, and slideshows.
The multimedia complements the news stories by showing videos of interviews featured in a story and photos to go along with it. Some stats that are used in stories are shown in the news graphics section and short writings accompany each video, photo, etc., describing what is going on in the piece.
