How do I keep videos from running automatically when opening a new page?

I have limited data available through my satellite connection to the Internet. So, for example, when I open pages on CNN there is usually a video attachment that starts playing, even though I only want to read the text portion of the page. I would like to avoid this and only play the video at my discretion.
