Mindy MacAdams set down what I now realise was a bit of challenge. A challenge, because I needed to work out how to say what I wanted to say in less than a phone books worth of type.
In a comment on my previous post about Online video Mindy asks for my views on:
…how a TV [...]

The discussion about the judging of online video has the capacity to become a real meta-conversation but, as with all good chat amongst people with experience and passion in the area, it also throws up the useful stuff.
In the Newspaper video yahoo group, where a lot of this stuff plays out, Chuck Fadely has linked [...]

I’ve been out of the loop a few days with another session of video training for journalists so imagine my surprise to come back to a real ding-dong over at Howard Owens place over the issues raised from the judging of online video by the NPPA.
I thought I should post on this as I put [...]

Dear newsaper executive/editor
Video takes a long time to produce compared to print.
Cheaper, more flexible equipment and different styles and presentations will reduce the time it takes to produce, but the relative time cost is still a heavy one to bear in a busy print newsroom.
When you spend money on production kit, expensive or cheap, you [...]

I was linked in dispatches from Shane Richmond at the Telegraph this week regarding my thoughts on Alan Hiscock;s anti-blog comments. Shane is spot on when he say Alan:
…may not know much about blogs but has certainly stumbled across trolling.
I agree. It did have a whiff of the ‘light the blue touch paper’ [...]

According to Journalism.co.uk, the Guardian is looking to spend £1 million in video production and hiring relevant production staff.
Currently self-taught reporters and camera people put projects together.
“We don’t think we can go forward without proper resources and reporters,” he said.
(insert mike myers Dr Evil style voice) One Million pounds!
What could you do with a million [...]

Jack Lail asked what other mic’s I would recommend for use apart from the M58 reporters mic I mentioned in a post on audio.
Those who know these mics will know that it’s a pretty mixed bag but I have used them either on external work or at the University so feel I can comment on [...]

The continued serendipity of the web…
Sticking to the subject of my last post, Robert Niles has a nice article over at OJR - Are blogs a ‘parasitic’ medium?
Could the blogosphere survive without the reporting provided by newspapers and TV networks? Online pros tackle the question.
The responses are very interesting. The conclusions more so.
By dismissing all [...]
