Video on the rise

Two interesting reads. Gannett Blog, which follows the fate of the largest newspaper chain in the country, reports on a new initiative from Gannett to get reporters producing video. It’s something the company has tried before with mixed results. And it’s impossible to tell if this time will work, or exactly how it will work. But clearly Gannett sees video as an important part of the mix.

And Beet.Tv has an interview with Ann Derry, Editorial Director of Video and Television for The New York Times. It’s about 2.5 minutes long. Interesting ideas towards the middle where she says they want to integrate video into the general mix  – “Our goal is to grow video up through the actual reporting. To do real video journalism“. (Emphasis is mine)
