UK Multimedia competition

journalism.jpgThe folks at journalism.co.uk are giving away “some exceedingly attractive handmade Sandstorm Kenya travel bags in the New Year”. But as Oliver points out:

… we’re not just going to give them to any email-capable old Herbert. No, we want a little something in return.

That little something is evidence of innovative online multimedia use to deliver a piece of journalism – relating in some way to travel.

It could be a piece of travel journalism, war, foreign, local, political or sport reporting. Anything that has involved a journey of some kind as part of the story.

So if you’re doing great multimedia then why not enter.

BBC Radio 4: New kids on the blog.

BBC radio 4 look at the impact of blogging on US journalism in New kids on the blog (Wednesday 19 December 2007 11:00-11:30)

Matt Frei looks at how the digital revolution is changing the face of American media.

American journalism is changing faster than ever before and the mass audiences of the nightly network news are in decline. With the internet explosion, Americans now get their news from an increasing number of sources.

Matt Frei takes stock of what is happening by talking to figures from the established mainstream media – including ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather – as well as the new generation of web-based journalists.

I hope it’s better informed than  the trails which generally seem to think that citizen journalists and bloggers are the same thing!

When I cornered Simon Bucks from Sky News he mentioned monetization and video as the two big issues to grapple with over the next year. So I asked a little more about video which I thought I would share with you.
