Thankfully, there's also now a great web site called the Kobre Guide that features "the Web's best multimedia & video journalism". Its a great site and definitely worth bookmarking.

Multimedia...you know; pictures, video, audio
There's a lot of terrible multimedia on the web, mainly on newspaper sites that don't invest time and money in letting their people produce good work. However, there's a lot of excellent work out there too. For me, Magnum In Motion, Media Storm, The Guardian and New York Times are traditionally the better places to visit to see some stunning work and realise what's possible with this new story telling method.

Yep, you're so right. Don't look at any Newsquest site for good video! Untrained scribes and snappers with no training handed a £300 DV camera and told, "Go do video" Disaster.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is. As far as I know, The Guardian is the only paper in the UK which takes this seriously and actually has a separate video department.
