According to broadcastingcable.com, Hearst Television has signed a deal with JVC to utilize the GY-HM100 ProHD camcorder as the foundation for their rolling out their move to the backpacker journalist concept. I say it’s about time.
I’ve been voraciously consuming Adam Westbrook’s blog postings lately and this came in over the weekend and thought I would take liberties and apply it to the solovj paradigm. Adam raises a very important question in this video:
“Why I’m glad I made the transition from ABC News off-air producer to New York Times videojournalist.” That’s the introductory statement NYTimes VJ Erik Olsen made in an article posted on Digital Journalist – and one I feel speaks loudly above the cacophony of the detractors of self contained shooter/producers.
MultimediaShooter has an excellent posting entitled “Multimedia Rules To Live By and Seven Steps to Training Yourself”, which I find interesting in that I’ve been doing this for my professional life first as a photojournalist and later on crossing over into the realm of shooting as a solo video journalist.
A lecture by Tom Kennedy Former National Geographic Director of Photography and Managing Editor of Washington Post/Newsweek Interactive speaks about his and the visual journalism profession’s transition to the digital age.
