Most of what people say is delivered in how they say it.  At something like the Nottingham Vigil it was about connecting with the emotion in their face as much as the words that they said, and on a more day to day basis with politicians speaking for example how they say things is often as important as what they say. I thought news nowadays wanted to connect to viewers on a more human level, and seeing how people express themselves is a huge part of that.

Well said. One thing hat people need to remember is that when we are being talked to we are also looking at how they are talking to us. I may say the following:

Well that didn't go as I was expecting.

I can say that aurally in one of a million different ways but only when you look at my face you can see the expression and facial context behind it. Because this can be said either in a sarcastic tone or after being given utterly devastating news. So that is why when we hear someone speak at a major event we also vitally see them.
