Good points, and possibly some old biases on my part are creeping in with respect to TV.

With respect to the development quote you pulled out, I probably muddied the waters of that post by throwing that in. I was talking more about technical development, not necessarily editorial development. It was in my head at the time, and I probably didn’t clarify that point well. It’s a completely different issue that is marginally related because newspaper companies are having to build out infrastructure to actually deal with video. That comment is about infrastructure, hosting, archival not rapid development of editorial content.

However, I think as newspapers technically iterate to get to the place they want, they should also experiment editorially to develop skills and a ‘voice’ that reflects their own style.

thanks,
