NPPA is resporting that in TV news departments around the country there are layoffs, or rumors of layoffs, taking place in cities like Minneapolis, Miami, Cleveland, and Denver.
The answer is something I and others who ascribe to the backpack or Solo Video Journalist Paradigm have been extolling quite a bit over the course of the past year.
I recently had a chat with the owner of a new video stock agency about how video is becoming the new “Stock Photography”.
My Cyber-mentor and solo video journalist David Dunkley-Gyimah has posted a cutting edge video that shows & speaks the language of video journalism while incorporating the new language of cinema.
The detractors of the Solo Video Journalist paradigm would have those who believe in being able to successfully and professionally produce quality work as a one person crew as not being possible.
Another case study disproves their argument.
I came across a video contest that IFC is conducting and the content of the video speaks for itself.
But there are some things the video touches on that I disagree with - especially if we as Solo Video Journalists want to be taken seriously when we talk about shooting and delivering our content via the Internet.
